Mauricio Pochettino urges Chelsea to sign AS Roma star Paulo Dybala.
According to Sport Witness (h/t Daily Mail), Chelsea are all set to go up against Tottenham for the signature of Paulo Dybala. It has been said that both clubs are ready to spend nearly £48m for the Juventus forward whose contract is set to end in 2022.
The Argentine international is having an under-par season much like his club and an exit from Europe last week means that Juventus are looking to offload players. Dybala has not flourished under Andrea Pirlo as the likes of Ronaldo, Kulusevski and Chiesa are regulars in the forward line.
He is currently out with an injury but prior to that, he had just scored 3 goals in 16 games this season. This is not the first time Dybala has been linked with a move to the Premier League.
In 2019, he was strongly tipped to move to either Tottenham or Manchester United. Ultimately, he decided to stay back as no transfer materialised.
However, even after a great 2019/20 season, Dybala looks nowhere close to those levels this season. The slow contract talks could suggest that Juventus no longer view him as a vital part of the squad.
There are also losses incurred from COVID that saw the Serie A giants post a deficit. That could also be a reason for not renewing Dybala’s deal.
It would surely interest potential suitors such as Chelsea, who are keeping tabs on the situation. Quite how this unravels is anyone’s guess but the Blues could well pounce on him if the contract talks go south.
