Manchester City are intensifying their interest in Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.

City have long been scouting Dybala and his progress at Juve, however their interest went up a level a fortnight ago.

Corriere dello Sport says City GM Ferran Soriano made a personal check on Dybala on January 27 as Juve met Lazio at the Olimpico.

Dybala has been at odds with Juve coach Max Allegri in recent weeks, sparking talk of the Argentina international being put up for sale at the end of the season.

Should Soriano choose to pull the trigger, it will cost City at least €120m to bring his Juve counterparts to the table.
