Former Manchester United target Paulo Dybala has £10.6 million release clause in Roma contract
Paulo Dybala, a former Manchester United target. has a £10.6 million release clause in his Roma contract for the upcoming transfer window, according to Sport (h/t The Sun).
Erik ten Hag is eyeing a new striker next summer. Napoli star Victor Osimhen and Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane are on the Red Devils’ radar.
Tammy Abraham is also an option for the Old Trafford side to bolster their forward line. However, the England international’s teammate could once again be on the Manchester-based club’s list.
United wanted to sign Dybala in the summer of 2022. However, he ended up joining Jose Mourinho’s team on a free transfer instead.
The Argentina international signed a three-year contract with the Serie A outfit. However, the Rome-based club could be forced to part ways with him for a cut price in the coming months.
Having made his name in Italy with Palermo, the 29-year-old moved to Juventus in the summer of 2015. The forward had some prolific years in Turin before injuries hampered his time towards the end.

In the current campaign, Dybala has made 20 appearances in all competitions for Roma, scoring 10 goals and providing seven assists. The 29-year-old also won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina.
United, at the moment, lack depth up front, with Anthony Martial and Wout Weghorst the only two available strikers. The France international has had fitness issues throughout the campaign. On the other hand, the Holland international is at the club until the end of the season on loan from Burnley.

While Dybala is a quality player, he is not an out-and-out striker. However, if the Red Devils fail to pursue other targets next summer, the 29-year-old is a decent option to have under consideration.
