Manchester United are reportedly keen to acquire the services of Argentine forward Paulo Dybala on a free transfer to replace their unsettled star Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to Corriere della Sera (via TuttoMercatoWeb), the Red Devils are expected to be in touch with Dybala's representatives in London in the coming days. The Premier League club have earmarked the 28-year-old as the replacement for Ronaldo in their frontline.
Apart from the Red Devils, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Arsenal, and Atletico Madrid are also interested in signing the player, as per FCInterNews.
Considered one of the best number 10s in Serie A in recent years, the Argentine impressed with his performances last season. During the 2021-22 campaign, he registered 15 goals and six assists in 39 games for the Serie A giants, Juventus.
Earlier, Ronaldo expressed his desire to leave Old Trafford this summer to pursue UEFA Champions League action at another club. Manchester United's lack of signings in the ongoing transfer window is believed to be a key factor too.
Despite their initial stance, the club hierarchy are now open to letting the Portuguese star leave this summer to avoid a long, drawn-out transfer saga, according to The Sun.
As per ESPN, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Cristiano Ronaldo 'wanted more' at Manchester United
According to acclaimed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese striker feels Manchester United's ambition in the transfer market is quite below-par.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano provided some insight into the ongoing transfer saga involving the former Real Madrid man.
The Italian journalist said:
"Cristiano wants to go and try something different — he is not happy with the club's ambition in the market. Now, they have signed Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen is one step away from being official; Frenkie De Jong negotiations are ongoing, so let's see what's next. Lisandro Martinez is a player they want, but Cristiano wanted more."
He continued:
"He is convinced that Manchester City are on another level, also Liverpool after signing Darwin Nunez and extending the contract of Mohamed Salah. Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are doing very good in the market, so Cristiano's thinking is that Manchester United are not at the best level in the Premier League and face the risk of not being in the top positions of the Premier League next season. This is why Cristiano is not happy and has asked to leave the club and this is why Jorge Mendes is working on many potential possibilities."
Ronaldo is currently on leave from training due to family reasons and will not be a part of Manchester United's pre-season tour to Thailand later this month.

No player is bigger than the club. Let CR7 leave. He does not bring harmony to the dressing room. He wants to leave to play in the UCL and gets his hands on the silver ware. He could not achieve it at Juventus. One person cannot help. Football is a team sport. So let him go, he is cancerous to the team.

He will be a great signing if he decided to join Man U.... He will bring the attacking level up for Man U....... And he is OK not to play in CL...

You should know it’s not all about the Market , let’s call a spade a spade , I knew from the moment Man U didn’t qualify for champions league he would leave , he’s only using the market for cover
Heheheeeee according to you this team that man united can compete with man city, Liverpool and Tottenham with their quality and signing that they did without new signings. Just look at what Ronaldo did in his return to man united after 12 years away scoring 24 goals and 4 assist as compare to Messi in PSG with 11 goals and 14 assist. No media is blaming Messi for his poor performance but blaming Ronaldo for man united poor performance if not because Mbbape contribution PSG would have been relegated.

When Messi win the world 🌎 cup at Qatar 🇶🇦, Cristiano may be forced to to tell his agent to commence a transfer notice to Portugal 🇵🇹! Cristiano is just too obsessed with Messi! Cristiano was just unlucky to have been born in same era with Messi!

Heheheeeee at least Ronaldo did not score only 6 goals in the whole season in a farmers league. If you take away Mbbape contribution from PSG team infact they will be relegated period. Because 6 goals can not win even a common tea spoon for PSG

We all can be blaming Ronaldo for demanding that he want to leave Manchester United but to my own point of view he's helped the team to rebuild, Manchester United board are very slow in the transfer window their voice is louder than their action rumors upon rumors 😆😂
