Chelsea could make a move for AS Roma striker Paulo Dybala in the summer.
Paulo Dybala has a release clause of €13m (£11m) in his contract, which will take effect in July, according to Calciomercato. And the same publication also claimed that Chelsea are monitoring his situation, although they want to get some clarity on the 30-year-old’s fitness before making a move.
Dybala has had many injury problems throughout his career, including this season.
However, the Argentine managed five goals and six assists in 13 Serie A appearances.
He brought Jose Mourinho to Roma, who had just been fired by the Italian club after a bad run.
Chelsea considering summer transfer for Dybala.
Dybala could be an absolutely incredible prospect in the transfer market this summer.
The Argentina international is an elite striker who costs less than £15 million. It is only natural that a club like Chelsea would consider him.
During his time at Juventus, Dybala scored 115 goals in 293 games ( Transfermarkt ) and was considered an “unplayable” striker by his former manager Massimiliano Allegri.
“He still has room to improve, but sometimes he’s just unfit,” beIN SPORTS quoted Allegri as saying. “He’s becoming an exceptional player.“
However, Dybala is now 30 years old and is once again struggling to stay in shape. However, at just £11m, the former Juventus star still looks worth the investment.
Nothing looks set to happen until the end of the season, meaning Mauricio Pochettino will likely have to make do with Nicolas Jackson, Armando Broja and Christopher Nkuku.
Chelsea have of course been linked with several other strikers, including Napoli’s Victor Osimheni, but he is currently focused on the African Cup of Nations and has just signed a new contract..
