Liverpool 'to step up interest in Juventus forward Paulo Dybala'

Liverpool will reportedly step up their interest in Juventus forward Paulo Dybala as they look to beat Real Madrid and Manchester United to his signature.

Liverpool are reportedly considering a concrete bid for Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala in the coming weeks.

Dybala's future has been the subject of much debate in recent transfer windows, and rumours regarding a possible exit have once again begun to swirl due to the Argentine starting just four Serie A games since the turn of the year.

Real Madrid are understood to have a long-standing interest in signing Dybala, who has also been linked with a big-money move to Manchester United in recent months.

However, Tuttomercato reports that Liverpool have now emerged as surprise frontrunners for his signature and could push for a deal to be agreed within the next few weeks.

Juventus would likely command a hefty fee of more than £100m for the 25-year-old, although that price tag is not thought to have deterred the Premier League title hopefuls.

Dybala has scored just four goals in 25 Serie A appearances so far this season but has five goals in seven Champions League outings.
