Premier League heavyweights Manchester City are thought to have made their intentions known in signing Juventus’ prolific striker Paulo Dybala as a replacement for their ageing forward Sergio Aguero.
The 23-year-old Dybala has been in fine form for the Bianconeri this season, scoring a commendable eight goals and assisting in three more for his club in 23 matches across all competitions. With such a propensity for goal-scoring, it is no wonder City are eager to sign the striker.
Indeed, according to the Daily Mirror, Manchester City have placed themselves in the running to sign the Argentine centre-forward once the transfer market re-opens in the summer and the Etihad Stadium outfit are confident they can win the player’s signature ahead of other suitors.
La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have both been linked with a summer move for the former Palermo man in recent weeks. However, it is believed that Juventus would rather sell the Argentine target man to a Premier League club, putting City in pole position to land the forward.
Whatever the case may be, Juventus are still eager to keep their prized possession in Italy and have already offered the striker a contract extension offer, although both parties are yet to announce if such talks had been successful.
With the clock clearly against them, Manchester City should quicken their pursuit if they are to sign such a highly sought after acquisition in the summer. After all, Dybala’s dribbling skills are exemplary and his ability to hold the ball is well-known.
He is quick with his feet and has the composure to pick out the right pass every time. Indeed, his pass success rate per game is at 85.4%, proving he can be a wonderful asset to any club, especially Manchester City, whose manager Pep Guardiola is a fan of players equipped with such attributes.
Of course, only time can tell whether City can indeed prise the Córdoba born player away from Turin.
Dybala has a contract with Juventus that is set to run until June 2020.
