Real Madrid favourites to land Paulo Dybala

Real Madrid are favourites to beat Manchester United in the battle to sign Paulo Dybala.

Real Madrid have been linked to Dybala for years but his move to Juventus in 2015 effectively put their interest on ice.

The 24-year-old cost Juve £23.4m when signing from Palermo and has largely impressed in Turin.

He even managed to keep his place in the side this summer despite the £105m arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real.

But Dybala could be soon on the move, with the bookies placing Real ahead of United in the race to snap up the Argentine.

Dybala is 6/4 with Coral to head to the Bernabeu, with United out at 4/1 and Manchester City 6/1.

On Wednesday Palermo owner Maurizio Zamparini revealed he expects the striker to leave Juve when the January transfer window opens – and Real Madrid are the team he will join.

“Every time he is left out, it makes me want to cry,” Zamparini, who sanctioned Dybala’s exit, told RMC Sport.

“He’s on the bench because of Allegri. Allegri should come to Palermo and win the Scudetto.

“Two years ago, I sent Dybala a message and advised him to go to Spain, not Italy.

“He’ll leave, because Juventus want to get €120million (£106million). In January, I think he’ll leave for Spain. He has offers in Spain and England.”
