Manchester United are reportedly looking to sign Paulo Dybala from Juventus as part of a swap deal for Paul Pogba.
The Red Devils have been linked with the Argentina international a number of times in the past, most recently in the January transfer window.
According to The Athletic, a move in 2021 is now a plausible prospect given recent developments with wantaway United midfielder Pogba.
The France World Cup winner's agent Mino Raiola dropped a bombshell on Monday by declaring that his client's time at Old Trafford "is over".
Raiola also revealed that a return to Juventus, where Pogba won four Serie A titles in four seasons, is a possibility.
United are said to have accepted that the 27-year-old is close to leaving, but they intend to use that to their advantage by tempting Dybala to head in the opposite direction.
Dybala has featured 10 times for Juve in all competitions this season, scoring just once and failing to set up any goals.
