Real Madrid will reportedly compete with Manchester United and Tottenham for 29-year-old AS Roma attacker Paulo Dybala.
According to a report by Forza Roma, as relayed by Fichajes, Paulo Dybala is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The 29-year-old is also a target for Manchester United and Tottenham. And clubs outside Italy can sign the AS Roma attacker for just €12 million in the summer transfer window.
Paulo Dybala has been on a tear since completing a tearful exit from Juventus at the end of last season. The Argentine international joined AS Roma in a Bosman move and has done wonders for Jose Mourinho. At the same time, he was a part of La Albiceleste’s World Cup-winning team in Qatar.
The 29-year-old has 13 strikes and eight assists in 29 appearances across all competitions thus far. But despite having a direct hand in 21 goals this term, Dybala’s AS Roma stint can end in the summer. That is because he has a meagre release clause worth just €12 million, which has alerted Real Madrid, Manchester United and Tottenham.
It is unclear why Real Madrid might be interested in the World Cup winner, considering they do not employ a system that suits him. Nonetheless, the Merengues have joined the race to sign the former Juventus attacker. And Real Madrid can potentially sign a utility man for just €12 million.
As for Manchester United, can have an alternative to Bruno Fernandes by signing Dybala. The Argentine international prefers to have a free role behind the striker. And considering Bruno Fernandes has played the most minutes this season, Manchester United will need a backup for the Portuguese.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will also look to secure Dybala’s services in the summer transfer window. The player’s meagre release clause of €12 million is also attractive for a tough negotiator like Daniel Levy. And with Tottenham looking for more goals and assists from players not named Harry Kane, the 29-year-old, who has 21 goal contributions this term, is an attractive target.
