Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are now facing competition from Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City for Paulo Dybala, according to 90min.

90min have reported that Arsenal and Tottenham have all been kept informed about the situation of Juventus attacker Dybala.

The Argentina international, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a forward, is out of contract at Juventus at the end of the season.

The 28-year-old’s latest meeting with Juventus over a new deal has failed to yield any result, according to 90min.

We have already covered Arsenal and Tottenham’s interest in Dybala, and now defending Premier League champions Manchester City are showing interest, according to 90min.

City manager Pep Guardiola’s interest in Dybala will come as a blow for Liverpool as well.

That’s because, according to a report in TuttoMercatoWeb in February, Liverpool manager Klopp has earmarked the Argentina international as a potential replacement for Brazil international forward Roberto Firmino.

Manchester City or Liverpool for Paulo Dybala?

In our opinion, Dybala is likely to choose Manchester City over Liverpool, if these are the two clubs who show the most interest in him.

Liverpool have a lot of attacking players, and Firmino may not leave Anfield at the end of the season anyway.

Now, of course, City have a very strong attack, but they do not have a world-class striker.

Dybala can operate as a centre-forward, and he would slot into City’s starting lineup.

The Juventus star has scored eight goals and given five assists in 19 Serie A starts so far this season.
