Manchester United and a few other English clubs were suggested as possible destinations for Paulo Dybala after Juventus confirmed he would leave them as a free agent at the end of last season.
Earlier claims coming out of the Italian press indicated the Red Devils were a concrete option for the forward in the summer.
The Argentina international didn’t end up at Manchester United and instead agreed to join AS Roma on a free transfer in July. He has managed three goals and two assists from six matches for the Serie A side this season.
The impact on the Giallorossi budget is minimum €8.3m gross. The South American has ‘given up something important’ to join José Mourinho’s side.
It’s stated Dybala had the opportunity to join Manchester United or Inter Milan as these sides had ‘long negotiated’ his signing with his agent, Jorge Antun, and intermediaries close to him.
Calciomercato state: ‘Joya has given up on something important to wear the yellow and red jersey. With all due respect to Manchester United and Inter who had long negotiated the purchase of him with the agent Antun and the intermediaries close to the Argentine.’
