Lionel Messi and Mauricio Pochettino agree on Paulo Dybala as Chelsea eye £10m transfer bargain

Lionel Messi and Mauricio Pochettino have already given Paulo Dybala a glowing review ahead of potential move to Chelsea this summer. The 29-year-old forward has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge lately as the Blues look to further bolster their frontline options.

Dybala, who sees his contract at the Stadio Olimpico expire in 2025, featured 25 times for Roma in the Serie A last season, directly contributing towards 19 goals. The Argentina international's impressive performances helped Jose Mourinho's side reach the Europa League final and beat Juventus to a top-six spot.

According to Italian journalist Matteo De Santis, as quoted by RomaPress, Chelsea are considering a move for Dybala, who has been specifically requested by Pochettino. Despite his mere €12million (£10.3million) release clause, the report states that Roma aren't concerned by the Blues' interest and they're confident that they can keep him on board for next term.
