Thursday's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup: Jack Grealish, Paulo Dybala, Kouadio Kone

Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Manchester United on Thursday, January 7.

The January transfer window is now open, with Manchester United continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The Red Devils have already agreed a deal to sign Amad Traore, and could look to bolster their ranks further to build on an encouraging first half of the season.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Old Trafford.

Thursday morning's Manchester United transfer talk news roundup:


Manchester United 'would have to spend £90m on Jack Grealish'

Manchester United will reportedly have to part with £90m should they wish to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa.

The England international continues to be linked with a move to Old Trafford, despite the Red Devils moving for Donny van de Beek instead last summer.

Grealish has been in fine form for the Villans this term, scoring and assisting a combined 12 goals in 15 Premier League matches.

Villa accept that the 25-year-old may be tempted by a move elsewhere, but The Athletic claims that they will not budge on their huge valuation should United come calling.

One-club man Grealish only signed a new long-term deal at Villa Park in September, keeping him under contract until the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

Juventus forward Paulo Dybala is rumoured to be another target for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side this year, although a transfer is unlikely in the January window.

Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on the future of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala.

The 27-year-old has now entered the final 18 months of his deal with the Old Lady, although talks over an extension are believed to be underway.

Juventus are said to be the frontrunners to land wantaway Man United midfielder Paul Pogba, and a possible swap deal involving Dybala has been mooted if the attacker does not commit his future to the Italian giants.

According to Tuttosport, United are indeed interested in the Argentine and are ready to swoop if negotiations over a new contract with Juventus do not bear fruit.

The report claims that Dybala wants a mammoth wage of €15m (£13.6m) per year to stay on in Turin, and while the Old Lady are only prepared to offer an annual salary of €12m (£10.9m), that may be enough for him to pen fresh terms.

The former Palermo man has notched up three goals in all competitions this season and has made Andrea Pirlo's starting XI on just six occasions in the 2020-21 Serie A campaign.
