Inter ultimately picked Romelu Lukaku over Paulo Dybala last summer, as the Argentine could have joined on a free after an ugly divorce from Juventus. They had room for just one major addition. They preferred reuniting with the Belgian, who was eager to come back to Milan.
According to TuttoSport, director Giuseppe Marotta hasn’t stopped thinking about La Joya. His convoluted contract with Roma includes a €20M release clause for fellow Italian teams. The Giallorossi can neutralize it by raising his wages to €6M per year, but he has to sign off on it.
While the star has fared well and looked comfortable in his first season in the Italian capital, his future might be tied to José Mourinho. If the Special One leaves and the Giallorossi don’t qualify for the Champions League, he will consider departing as well. Given the structure of his deal, it wouldn’t be arduous for Inter to sign Dybala. It’d be even easier for foreign clubs. It will all hinge on what he wants to do.
La Beneamata plot to renovate their attack next summer. Joaquin Correa is up for sale. It’s uncertain whether they will retain Lukaku, even though he surely wishes to.
Our Take on Dybala and Inter
Given the warmth with which he has been received from day one and his starring role, it’d be stunning if he bolted. He and Roma are a perfect match. Mourinho moving on would be a blow to their ambitions, but he should stay regardless. Instead, it’d be less surprising if he indeed transferred to the Nerazzurri since he has some big fans inside their management. Perhaps there’s a chance he and the Special One will join forces in Milan.
