Chelsea could make a move for AS Roma forward Paulo Dybala in the summer.
Paulo Dybala has a €13m (£11m) release clause in his contract that will become active in July, according to Calciomercato. And the same outlet has also claimed that Chelsea are monitoring his situation, though they want clarity on his fitness before making any move for the 30-year-old.
Dybala has had a lot of injury problems in his career, including this season.
However, the Argentine has still been able to score five goals and provide six assists in 13 Serie A appearances.
He was brought to Roma by Jose Mourinho, who has just been sacked by the Italian club after a poor run of results.
Chelsea considering summer move for Dybala
Dybala could be an absolutely incredible opportunity on the transfer market this summer.
The Argentina international is an elite forward who is going to cost less than £15m. It is only normal for a club like Chelsea to consider him.
During his time at Juventus, Dybala scored 115 goals in 293 games (Transfermarkt) and was hailed as an “unplayable” forward by his former manager Massimiliano Allegri.
“He still has room for improvement, but at times he’s just unplayable,” Allegri was quoted as saying by beIN SPORTS. “He’s turning into an extraordinary player.”
Dybala is now 30, though, and again, he does struggle to stay fit. However, for just £11m, the former Juventus star still looks worth a punt.
Nothing is going to happen until the end of the season it seems, meaning Mauricio Pochettino will probably have to get by with Nicolas Jackson, Armando Broja and Christopher Nkunku.
Chelsea have, of course, been linked with several other forwards like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but he is currently concentrating on the Africa Cup of Nations and just signed a new contract.
