AS Roma’s Paulo Dybala reacts to fan’s question about Chelsea transfer at British GP
The British GP at Silverstone in England has seen Chelsea’s links to Paulo Dybala grow, much thanks to Thiago Silva’s comments that he has asked the player about a potential transfer to SW6.
That interaction wasn’t caught on camera, so we can’t know how Dybala would have responded. But a fan, holding the camera in selfie mode with Dybala in the frame at Silverstone, asked the AS Roma superstar if he was going to move to Chelsea this summer.

According to Corriere dello Sport from Italy, via Metro, the Blues are interested in signing the former Juventus playmaker. There is believed to be a €12 million release clause in his contract that applies to clubs outside Serie A.
La Joya at Chelsea?
The 29-year-old joined Juve just last year as a free agent. But the presence of such a clause in his contract hints that he could have been thinking about a move aboard in the near future.
It is a wildly sensible valuation, after all, for a full Argentina international who set Serie A alight all those years at Palermo and Juventus. Last season was perhaps one of his best, as he racked up 18 goals and eight assists in 38 games for I Giallorossi.
His laughter in the video above at least ensures that he is aware of Chelsea’s interest in him. Here, he could be a bonafide superstar considering the relatively young players that we have.

We need the experience of a superstar like Dybala, because stockpiling the first XI with youngsters can also be a risky strategy. Let’s hope Chelsea trigger the clause and the Argentine agrees to finally bring his talent to the Premier League.
