MANCHESTER UNITED and City are among SIX clubs set to be offered Paulo Dybala as part of a sensational summer swap deal, according to reports.
Juventus are reportedly keen to move on the Argentine international, 27, with the forward close to a move to Old Trafford in the summer of 2019.

But now the Serie A giants are considering a series of potential swap deals with some of Europe’s biggest clubs as part of a major summer overhaul.
Juve are already mulling over the future of Cristiano Ronaldo – with his sky-high wages meaning a big name such as Matthijs De Ligt may be sold in the coming months.
However, the forward has been linked with a return to both Man Utd and Real Madrid with Juventus’ big gamble – going all in to win the Champions League – not paying off following another early exit in Europe.
Now Dybala is apparently on the transfer market – with Juve attempting a straight swap deal.
Juve, struggling financially due to the coronavirus pandemic, have endured a tough season by their extraordinarily high standards.
The Italian giants have won nine Serie A titles in a row but sit ten points adrift of Inter Milan in the quest to make it ten with just 11 games to play.
And a move for former star midfielder Paul Pogba is on the agenda for Andrea Pirlo and Co, according to Tuttosport.
Juventus sold Pogba to United for a then-world-record £89million in 2016 – with the Frenchman largely failing to find his top form with any consistency back at Old Trafford.
And the Italians hope Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be tempted into finally parting with the 2018 World Cup winner in exchange for Dybala.
However, Juve have many other irons in the fire, with Man City striker Gabriel Jesus another potential swap target.
Juventus are also looking at Real Madrid midfielder Isco as a potential target, with Paris Saint-Germain forward Mauro Icardi also on their shortlist.
Elsewhere, Barcelona ace Ousmane Dembele and Atletico Madrid hotshot Joao Felix are other potential swap candidates for Pirlo’s squad.
Aaron Ramsey is another big-name being linked with a move away from Turin this summer.
Liverpool are believed to be interested in the ex-Arsenal ace as a replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum, who is expected to leave on a free this summer with his contract expiring.
