Football rumours from the media
Could Paulo Dybala pick Manchester United over Barcelona in the next transfer window?
What the papers say
Manchester United have their sights on Juventus’ Paulo Dybala, according to The Sun. It has long been thought the forward could join up with Barcelona, but reports suggest Jose Mourinho is hoping to tempt the 24-year-old to the Premier League with a £107million offer in January.
Despite attentions turning to Luke Shaw‘s horror head injury while playing for England last week, his recent return to good form does not appear to have gone unnoticed by his club boss. However, The Sun says the left-back is in no hurry to commit his future to United, who are said to want to cement a deal before he goes out of contract next summer.
Amid rumours the door has been closed on a new deal between John Terry and Aston Villa, the club are now said to be looking at free agent Robert Huth. The Mirror reports that with Terry seemingly heading for Spartak Moscow, Huth could be the answer to Villa’s centre-back woes.
