Deal close: Dybala set to join Roma from Juventus

Rome: Paulo Dybala set to join Jose Mourinho's Roma on a free transfer from Juventus, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano on Monday.
 
According to the senior journalist, Dybala has signed a three year contract with Jose Mourinho side, valid until 2025. It is learned that Mourinho has personally contacted the Argentinian, who recently shared his intent with Juventus to leave the club. 

Earlier, the 28-year-old forward's Juve contract expired this summer, and he had been touted for a move to Serie A runners-up Inter Milan, which would have ensured Champions League football next season.

Dybala has been pictured in Portugal with Roma's sporting director Tiago Pinto and will undergo a medical and sign a three-year contract worth six million euros ($6.08m) per season, including bonuses.

Dybala spent a trophy-laden seven years in Turin but has been dogged by injuries over the last two seasons.

He joined Juve from Palermo in 2015 going on to win five Serie A titles and four Italian Cups. He also played in the team which reached the 2017 Champions League final and lost to Real Madrid.
