Man United among Premier League clubs considering move for “outstanding” Roma ace Paulo Dybala | OneFootball

Manchester United are reportedly one of three top Premier League clubs weighing up a move for AS Roma attacker Paulo Dybala.

Since their unsuccessful attempt to secure his signature in 2019, Dybala has always been the one that got away for United.

At the time, club boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen on adding the Argentine to his ranks but needless to say, a transfer never got over the line.

The versatile forward rebuffed United’s overtures as well as those from other English outfits in favour of staying put in Serie A.

In Italy, Dybala enjoyed a very successful seven-year spell with Juventus that saw him win five Scudetto titles, four Coppa Italias and three Supercoppa Italianas.

He left Turin in the summer of 2022 for a new adventure at Roma, where he has been equally impactful. In 76 appearances so far for the Giallorossi, Dybala has managed 36 goals and 18 assists. This season alone, he has 16 goals and 10 assists across all competitions to his name.

Five years after United’s initial attempt to acquire him, it appears the 30-year-old is back on the club’s radar if a recent report is to be believed.

It’s understood that alongside the Red Devils, Chelsea and Arsenal are the other English teams vying for the “outstanding” Dybala.

The player has a cut-price release clause worth just €12million (£10m), a no-brainer sum for a player of his stature, experience and attributes.

All three Premier League clubs are monitoring Dybala’s situation with a view to potentially swooping in for him.

While Dybala would undoubtedly be a solid signing for United considering his output and quality, Ten Hag’s side are very unlikely to go for him.

It has been repeatedly mentioned that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS are eager to build the new-look United around a core of young players with the potential to become world-class. Dybala – despite all the trappings he comes with – hardly fits this profile at the moment.

United’s interest in him should be taken with a pinch of salt until slightly more reliable journalists or sources confirm it.
