Aston Villa are in the running to sign Argentine star Paulo Dybala.
Under Unai Emery, Aston Villa have been impressive in the Premier League, and the Argentine World Cup winner Paulo Dybala is being eyed by them to join Villa Park this summer.
According to Siamo La Roma, Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen are interested in signing the Roma star.
The Villans are now in the lead in the fight for the coveted fourth place in the Premier League, which would guarantee them a position in the UEFA Champions League for the next season.
Aston Villa are fighting for a top-four finish
If they can manage to finish in the top four, there’s no reason why they cannot attract better players.
Dybala is a dynamic striker who can fill a variety of roles. He will give the Villa attack more experience and energy.
Being a match-winner, he would undoubtedly increase Villa’s capacity to influence games that are closely contested.
Paulo Dybala in action for AS RomaBayer Leverkusen’s interest in Dybala depends on the future of manager Xabi Alonso, who is being eyed by some of the biggest clubs in Europe.
Alonso could be heading to Liverpool before the start of next season to replace Jurgen Klopp or he could stay in Germany, to take charge of Bayern Munich.
Aston Villa can offer Dybala a taste of the Premier League
It remains to be seen if Dybala would want to join a team that could find it difficult to repeat similar success next season. A few Villa players have also been linked to a summer departure, including Ollie Watkins and Douglas Luiz.
Dybala isn’t exactly young at 30, and he could even be able to make a lot of money by relocating to the Middle East to join the lucrative Saudi Pro League.
The Argentine international is set to have several options on the table for next season. However, a move to Villa only depends on Emery’s team securing a top-four finish in the league.
