Sources: Newcastle United submit 'huge' Paulo Dybala offer
Newcastle United have submitted a blockbuster offer for Juventus superstar Paulo Dybala, Football Insider understands.
The newly-rich Premier League club are using their Saudi backing to sensationally try and win the race for the playmaker.
Football Insider has been told there is “huge” interest from the Premier League elite in Dybala, 28, who will be a free agent when his Juve contract expires at the end of the season.
A Newcastle source has told us they have been in contact with Dybala’s camp and are willing to make him their highest-ever paid player to lure him to England.
A deal worth more than £200,000-a-week is on the table from the north-east giants.

But there is intense global competition for the Argentine, who is also wanted by top Italian and Spanish clubs.
Newcastle are unlikely contenders given their season spent trying to avoid Premier League relegation.
But they are super ambitious and are planning to build a team capable of challenging for the top trophies in the coming years.
Dybala has a big decision to make over his future after talks over a Juventus extension broke down.
That has opened the door to clubs across the globe keen to sign a player still at his peak.
Dybala has long been regarded as one of the outstanding players in Serie A and has also been capped 32 times by Argentina.
He has 14 goals and five assists from 34 matches this season for Juventus, where has a total haul of 114 goals and 48 assists across seven years.
