According to reports from Forza Roma, as relayed by Fichajes, Real Madrid is reportedly interested in signing Paulo Dybala, the 29-year-old AS Roma attacker. However, they will have to compete with Manchester United and Tottenham, who are also keen on securing Dybala’s services.
Dybala wanted by Real Madrid and Tottenham
Dybala, who joined AS Roma on a Bosman move at the end of last season after a tearful exit from Juventus, has been in excellent form under Jose Mourinho. He was also a part of La Albiceleste’s World Cup-winning team in Qatar.
With 13 goals and eight assists in 29 appearances across all competitions so far, Dybala has had a direct hand in 21 goals this term. Despite this, his time with AS Roma could come to an end in the summer due to his meagre release clause of just €12 million, which has alerted top clubs to his availability.
Real Madrid’s Potential Interest Despite Unsuitable System
Real Madrid’s interest in Dybala is surprising, given that their system doesn’t necessarily suit his style of play. Nevertheless, the Merengues have thrown their hat in the ring to sign the Argentine international, who could be a utility man for them at just €12 million.
Manchester United’s Need for Backup to Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United sees Dybala as a potential backup for Bruno Fernandes, who has played the most minutes this season. Dybala prefers to have a free role behind the striker, making him an ideal fit for United.
Tottenham’s Pursuit of More Goals and Assists
Meanwhile, Tottenham is also keen on securing Dybala’s signature. The club is looking for more goals and assists from players not named Harry Kane, and Dybala’s meagre release clause makes him an attractive target for the club’s notoriously tough negotiator, Daniel Levy.
Other Clubs Linked to Dybala in Recent Reports
Aside from Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham, other clubs like Barcelona and Newcastle United have also been linked with Dybala. It remains to be seen who among these top clubs will make the first move to sign him.
