5 possible destinations for Paulo Dybala
Paulo Dybala first burst onto the scene in the 2014-15 Serie A season, making 23 goal contributions for Palermo. Juventus soon came calling for the Argentine, snapping him up for a €41million fee in 2015.
He was expected to be the undisputed star of Juve, ruling the Italian top-division with an iron fist. Unfortunately, injuries and fitness issues have kept him from racking up the numbers many expected. So far, he has managed to take part in 283 games for the Bianconeri, netting 113 goals and providing 48 assists.
The forward’s current contract with the Old Lady expires in June 2022, meaning he will be free to leave at the end of the season.
With no new offers on the table, the player is set to depart as a free agent (via Fabrizio Romano). Several top European clubs are expected to vie for his signature.
Below, we will take a look at Dybala's five possible destinations:
#5 Manchester United
Manchester United are in need of reinforcements in all areas of the pitch. With Anthony Martial out on loan at Sevilla and Marcus Rashford’s future still up in the air, according to the Guardian, the Red Devils could do with a player of Dybala’s skill set.
The Argentine could be a marquee signing for United and would give the fans something to look forward to after a dreadful season.
I'd actually choose Dybala for Manchester United, he's a versatile player, can compete with Rashford and Elanga at RW or even compete with Bruno as a CAM, might be a good addition to the squad.
The Red Devils are also in the hunt for a new manager, which bodes well for Dybala. If the forward joins the club in the summer and finds a new coach, they can work together to figure out a system that works.
At present, Manchester United do not use a second-striker, but having a player like Dybala could change things quickly at Old Trafford.
#4 Liverpool
Manchester United’s arch-rivals Liverpool are also believed (via Express) to be in the hunt for Paulo Dybala. Unlike United, who are in dire need of Dybala’s qualities, Liverpool have no reason to be desperate for the Argentine.
With Luis Diaz, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota, Roberto Firmino, and the prolific Mohamed Salah at his disposal, Jurgen Klopp is spoilt for options up top. Unless Mane and Salah leave due to contract disputes, Liverpool could find it difficult to fit Dybala into the starting XI.
Paulo Dybala is a free agent this summer. Would you take him at Liverpool?🤔 https://t.co/l13cc1SJdM
Dybala is excellent at holding up the ball, combines well with his teammates, and is eager to work off the ball.
The player could thrive in a false nine role for the Merseysiders, but Klopp might need to have some unpleasant conversations with some of his players to make it happen.
