AS Roma are confident that clubs such as Chelsea will not trigger Paulo Dybala’s release clause during the January transfer window, according to reports.
Dybala, 30, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Serie A club in the transfer window, after reports emerged regarding a release clause in his contract that is around £10million until January 15th, when it is set to expire. It means clubs such as Chelsea have limited time to capitalise on the deal cut-price deal.
Reports from Italy have stated that Chelsea view Dybala as the ‘ideal profile’ to reinforce the attacking options within Mauricio Pochettino’s squad, but the situation could be postponed until the summer due to Dybala suffering a during the recent 1-0 defeat to Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter finals.
According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Jose Mourinho and the hierarchy at the club are now confident that the Argentinian international will remain at Roma past the January transfer window, despite the interest surrounding the player and the reported release clause within his contract. His current deal is set to expire in 2025, as clubs such as Chelsea now begin to circulate around the situation due to his uncertain future, with the upcoming transfer windows possibly marking the final opportunity for Roma to cash-in on the player.
