While Inter remain the favourites for Paulo Dybala’s next destination after leaving Juventus, intriguing reports suggest Jose Mourinho is trying to convince him to join Roma.
La Joya will be a free agent when his contract with Juve expires on June 30, as the club decided to withdraw the offer of a new deal.
He was visibly distraught and burst into tears during his farewell to the fans at the Allianz Juventus Stadium last night, having never disguised the fact he wanted to continue in Turin.
Inter are the main contenders, with Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid interested should he leave Italy.
According to La Repubblica newspaper, Mourinho is working on a charm offensive to convince Dybala to join him at Roma.
That news has now spread to the ANSA agency, who maintain the coach specifically requested the Argentina international.
It would require a definite push from owners the Friedkins to meet his salary demands, but Dybala’s arrival would probably coincide with the departure of Nicolò Zaniolo, who has been heavily linked with Juventus.
The Corriere dello Sport also points out that Roma legend Francesco Totti is a fan of Dybala and ‘liked’ several of his Instagram posts today.
