TOP STORY: Barca, Blues looking at Dybala
Barcelona and Chelsea are among the European clubs who have collected preliminary information on Paulo Dybala and his release clause at AS Roma, according to Rudy Galetti.
The Argentina international has a contract that expires in 2025 and is still waiting to discuss a new deal with the Giallorossi. He initially joined them from Juventus in the summer of 2022, but it appears that the hold-up in discussions about a renewal has resulted in clubs looking into a possible move for the 30-year-old.
Dybala has had an impressive season for Roma, scoring 14 goals and providing the assist for another nine in 31 matches across all competitions, helping Daniele De Rossi’s to fifth in the Serie A table. That tally includes the assist for Gianluca Mancini‘s winner in the recent derby win against Lazio.
With Barcelona and Chelsea both having squads that include plenty of young talent, a player of Dybala’s experience — a World Cup winner and five Serie A titles — could prove useful. He will have further opportunities to impress in big matches, as Roma face AC Milan, Bologna, Napoli, Juventus and Atalanta in their next five games.
