Jose Mourinho was reportedly the deciding factor in Paulo Dybala opting to join Roma on a free transfer.
Dybala is set to join Roma on a three-year contract following his departure from Juventus at the end of June. The Argentina international was the subject of strong interest from Inter Milan and Napoli, while Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham were all linked earlier in the summer transfer window.
Sky Sports Italia says that Dybala has now picked Roma and will sign a deal until 2025 worth £5million (€6m) a year with the Serie A club. Fabrizio Romano reports that Mourinho was the ‘key factor’ in the decision, having personally called Dybala to explain the Roma project and pushed Roma director Tiago Pinto to get the deal done.
