MANCHESTER UNITED are in talks with Juventus over a stunning swap deal between Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala - but time is running out.
With Lukaku's slated move to Inter Milan looking increasingly unlikely, Juve now appear to be the front-runners.
Antonio Conte's Inter have been chasing the Belgian star, 27, all summer - but have failed to meet Man Utd's £75million valuation.
Now new Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri wants to continue his massive overhaul by landing wantaway Lukaku.
However, the two European giants have just one week to get a deal over the line - or watch it all collapse, say .
And with the clock ticking, Lukaku's agent, Federico Pastorello, has been talking up his client in a bid to seal a move.
BEST IN THE WORLD
Pastorello said: “Lukaku? He is one of the best forwards in the world.
“He is easily in the top three or four best forwards in the world.”
Not only that, Old Trafford boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has given Lukaku until Wednesday to thrash out a deal to leave the club.
If Lukaku fails to meet the deadline, Solskjaer will look to bring him back into his squad as it will be too late for United to sign a replacement.

Now, with just 48 hours remaining, it appears it will be Juventus or bust for the Belgian star.
Juve have made it clear they want a centre-forward - and are willing to use Argentine ace Dybala as a makeweight in any deal.
However, Lukaku's first choice remains Inter, as he wants to work under Conte - who tried and failed to bring him to Chelsea in 2017.
And he's begged United to consider dropped their valuation in order to facilitate a deal.
