Paulo Dybala and Inter have quickly gotten in touch after Juventus pulled their contractual offer. The Argentinian striker has received other inquiries. However, he has given his clear priority to the Nerazzurri. He has been promised a starring role next season and a reasonably wealthy deal.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid reached out to his entourage. However, they did not further the talks, at least at this stage. Instead, the contacts with CEO Giuseppe Marotta have been frequent and productive.
Inter and Dybala are discussing a four-year contract with €6M wages and significant add-ons. He would be on a par with Marcelo Brozovic and Lautaro Martinez, the highest-paid players on the roster. The Nerazzurri gathered intel on his physical problems and found no major red flags. Opening up enough room in their payroll would not be a big issue either. They were already planning to move on from Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez, and Matias Vecino. Stefan De Vrij could be on his way out too.
Considering their scarce resources, La Beneamata has frequently relied on free-agent acquisitions in recent years. Stefano De Vrij, Diego Godin, Arturo Vidal, and Hakan Calhanoglu joined in such fashion. André Onana will do the same shortly.
Dybala is particularly keen on moving to Inter also to stick it to Juventus. He is furious with how they handled the negotiation and his departure, the Italian outlet informs. As natural, the parties will wait for the end of the season to formalize the agreement.
