Paulo Dybala has reportedly told his entourage to enquire about a potential move to PSG, with the Juventus star also a major target for Tottenham ahead of the summer.

According to Foot Mercato, the Argentine international has an interest in moving to the Ligue 1 giants at the end of the season. However, as per the report, PSG are due for a major reshuffle both on a playing level and in the back room, which could make a move for Dybala unlikely.

Sporting director Leonardo is expected to depart Paris after the club’s latest UEFA Champions League failure, and big-name players such as Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria are expected to leave PSG, with a place for Dybala in the squad unlikely.

With Lionel Messi and Neymar set to stay in France, PSG could again find themselves in a position of having an incredible frontline with no real balance if Dybala joins, who is also wanted by Tottenham and other clubs around Europe.

Corriere dello Sport report that Tottenham are leading the race for the attacker, with Arsenal and Liverpool also listed as interested in Dybala, yet this latest update that the forward is keen on PSG could throw a spanner in the works.

Indeed, the Ligue 1 giants have the finances to match whatever Dybala is demanding, and for the likes of Tottenham, the pull of PSG could see the French club win the race for the forward, even if it’s the wrong move.

It’s rare for a player to find himself in a position where moving to Tottenham makes more sense than PSG, yet that’s exactly the case Dybala finds himself in as we look towards the summer transfer window and the striker’s departure from Juventus.

After all, Tottenham need firepower and a creative outlet in the attack, and Dybala could be perfect to partner Harry Kane and Heung-min Son for Antonio Conte’s side rather than being shoehorned into another unbalanced PSG attack.
