90Min report that as many as five Premier League clubs are in talks to sign Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala – in Tottenham, Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea. Inter Milan are interested, but not in talks.
Despite the quality of 28-year-old Dybala, Juventus are yet to extend his contract. The report states he might still sign a new deal with the Old Lady – but interest is ramping up. All five English sides have spoken to his agents.
Dybala is enjoying another brilliant season – having a hand in 18 goals during his 27 league and cup appearances. Scoring 12 and creating six, the Argentina international has also captained Max Allegri’s side 16 times.
But he is out of contract in June – and all five English clubs want him on a free. Of course, it is not the first time Dybala has been linked with a move to England – a move to Tottenham falling through in 2019 due to image rights.
Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, City or United – which is best for Dybala?
He will obviously want to join Manchester City if he had the choice. But Dybala is hardly a number nine, and while he can play up top, he is better off as a second striker. City have numerous options in that role.
Dybala would not be first choice, and a rotation option instead. At Manchester United, he probably would start – but Bruno Fernandes is crucial at Old Trafford. Unless Chelsea sell, he would hardly go there.
The lure of Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici at Tottenham will be enormously tempting. Paratici signed Dybala at Juve in 2015 – and that holds weight. If Arsenal get top four, that too will be attractive.
