EXCLUSIVE: Aston Villa eyeing £13million bargain summer move for World Class Serie A star Paulo Dybala with Unai Emery keen to bolster attacking options at Villa Park
Aston Villa are amongst the clubs who are interested in getting their hands on Roma attacker Paulo Dybala in the summer transfer window.
Villa are currently sitting fourth in the Premier League standings and are aiming to qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Midlands club are already looking forward to next summer and are putting some ambitious plans in place.
They are hopeful that if they are in the Champions League they will be able to attract bigger names to Villa Park.
According to Italian daily Il Messaggero (via SiamoLaRoma), Aston Villa are keen on signing Roma forward Dybala in the summer.
The 30-year-old attacker will have a year left on his contract with Roma at the end of the season.
Aston Villa see him as a major name who could add star power and experience to their squad next season.
Dybala isn’t exactly young and could even earn the big bucks by moving to the Middle East.
The Argentine has several top years left in him and a final hurrah in the Premier League would certainly boost his reputation further. Either way, ending the campaign in the top four could very well prove to be Villa’s trump card in this transfer race.
Dybala has an exit clause of €13 million for non-Italian clubs, but Serie A rivals can also acquire him by paying €20 million.
The Argentine has scored 177 goals in his illustrious career, adding 79 assists to his name. But while goal-scoring and creating isn’t an issue, Dybala’s injury record is the only thing that would be a put-off to sign him.
