Juventus have offered Argentine player maker Paolo Dybala plus £44 million to Liverpool for striker Mo Salah.
That is according to Italian news outlet Tuttosport who claim that the Italian champions are seriously targeting the Egyptian striker and are prepared to offer one of their brightest talents and a substantial amount of cash to secure his services.
Salah is under contract at Liverpool until June 2023, having just signed a new contract at Anfield last year, and there is no reason why they should want to sell him, unless the funds from his sale can help them strengthen their squad, as happened when the proceeds from selling Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona help pay for the purchased of Virgil van Dyck and Allison Becker.
25-year old Dybala is regarded as one of the brightest young midfield talents in Serie A but has seen his role in the Juventus team supplanted by the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.
