FC Barcelona are among the clubs who have been offered the chance to sign Argentine playmaker Paulo Dybala from AS Roma, according to the latest reports from Italy.

Paulo Dybala has a release clause of 12 million euros for clubs outside Serie A this summer, as specified by Sport, and several Premier League clubs have already been interested in him, in particular West Ham.

Atletico Madrid also inquired about his situation, even if the Catalan daily claims that his priority would be FC Barcelona, ​​and that his salary would be reasonable.

A reasonable salary

That said, Roma will try to renew his contract, one of several more lucrative offers that are likely to arrive at the 30-year-old’s door, and increase his release clause in the process. The problem, as the source explains, is that Dybala could conflict with Barcelona’s intention to renew Joao Felix’s loan from Atletico Madrid, with both performing similar functions in theory.

Felix still has to prove himself like Dybala, but the loan option would arguably be less costly for Barcelona this summer. Concerning Atletico Madrid, “La Joya” could find himself in a role too similar to that of Antoine Griezmann to be able to offer him a starting position.
