Chelsea are reportedly interested in picking up Paulo Dybala and Enzo Fernandez is keen to welcome his Argentina teammate, admitting he ‘really hopes he can come’.
The 29-year-old forward shined in his debut season with Roma, scoring 18 goals and providing eight assists across 38 total appearances.
Dybala signed a three-year deal with the Giallorossi last summer that contains an accessible release clause – €12m for foreign clubs and €20m from teams in Serie A.
Chelsea have reportedly sounded out a move with Dybala but the player rejected them and expressed his willingness to sign a new contract with Roma.
Speaking to Ole via Calciomercato, Enzo Fernandez was asked about Chelsea’s interest in Dybala.
“I’ve read something about it, we’ll see. I really hope he can come. I’ve talked to him, and I told him I’m waiting for him for an asado. I need someone to share mate.”
Roma are working on a new deal for Dybala, ready to increase his wages to reflect his importance to the club. He is quickly growing into a fan favourite in the Italian capital and his shirt for the 2023-24 season was quickly sold out after the recent release.
