After falling down the pecking order at Juventus, Paulo Dybala is now being linked with a move to the Premier League. According to the Daily Mail, his agent flew to London to begin talks with none other than Man United as the rumors linking him with the English giants increase.
Tottenham have also been linked with the Argentine talent but it is the Old Trafford side that appears to be leading the chase for the South American. Romelu Lukaku could be key in this transfer. The Belgian, who appears to be headed to Italy, is valued roughly the same as Dybala and could thus be offered in a player exchange for the Argentine.
However, there is one thing that could complicate Man United's pursuit of the Serie A talent. According to the Daily Mail, his hige wage demands.
The 25-year-old currently pockets arround $8M per year in Turin but he wants a significant pay raise should he agree to move to the Theatre of Dreams. The former Palermo sensation has his eyes on a £350,000-per-week ($427,000-per-week) wage package.
This would make him the second-highest paid player in the history of the English top-flight, alongside Arsenal's Mesut Ozil, and behind only Alexis Sanchez. If Paulo gets his wish, he would be pocket $11M annually after tax.
However, as the article states, negotiations between the two parties are in the early stages and his demands are not expected to derail matters. One thing that could be a cause for worry are claims that Romelu Lukaku favors a move to Inter Milan.
