Juventus are prepared to lower their demands for Paulo Dybala and do a straight swap with Manchester United for Romelu Lukaku, claim Sky Sport Italia.
Until now, all Italian sources had stated with absolute confidence that Juve rated Dybala at €100m, significantly more than Manchester United’s €85m price-tag on Lukaku.
This would mean the Premier League side handing over Lukaku plus €15m in cash.

According to Sky Sport Italia this evening, the negotiations with director of sport Fabio Paratici also covered this issue, with United wanting it to be a straight swap.
However, the entire situation continues to rest on Dybala and so far he has not decided what to do.
La Joya is due back in Turin on Thursday morning for training and a crucial face-to-face meeting with new Coach Maurizio Sarri.
If he feels that Sarri has no place for him in the squad, then Dybala could be open to leaving Juventus, but he may well aim to fight for his place.
Ever since the potential transfer hit the headlines, Italian sources have been adamant Dybala was at best unconvinced by the idea of joining Manchester United.
Tuttomercatoweb maintain Lukaku would inherit the same salary as Dybala, €7.5m per year plus bonuses, while the Argentine would earn €10m plus goal-related bonuses and add-ons, eventually doubling his wages.
