Juventus forward, Paulo Dybala, will not be returning to training before Monday, August 5, Sky Italia reports.
The Argentine has been given permission by the Serie A giants, to sort out his future, after meeting with head coach Maurizio Sarri this week.
Dybala’s preference would be to remain in Turin, but Juve are keen on a swap deal that will see him move to Manchester United and Romelu Lukaku join them
Lukaku is keen on a switch to Juventus, but Dybala is still undecided, especially with Champions League football missing at Old Trafford.
But with Juve keen to offload the 25-year-old, the player knows he is unlikely to reclaim his place as a regular next season if he stays.
United would like to tie up a deal for Dybala and Lukaku by this weekend, leaving them free to focus all their attention on landing Harry Maguire from Leicester by the August 8 deadline.
