Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham are all chasing the signature of Juventus forward Paulo Dybala but they will all have to convince him to turn his back on his dream move to complete a deal. The 28-year-old's contract in Turin is set to expire at the end of the season and a number of clubs are interested in signing him on a free transfer.
As well as the three London sides, Manchester United were offered the chance to sign Dybala on a pre-contract agreement back in February, according to 90min, but neither side took up the option. However, each of them retains an interest in adding the Argentinian to their ranks ahead of next season.
Dybala confirmed his departure from Juventus ahead of their final game of the Serie A season. He has been a part of Bianconerri's set-up for seven years, scoring 115 goals in 269 appearances in that time.

"It is difficult to find the right words to greet you, there are many years and many emotions involved, all together.," he wrote on Twitter. "I thought we would be together even more years, but fate puts us on different paths.
"I will never forget everything you made me experience, every game, every goal. With you I grew up, I learned, I lived and I dreamed. It has been 7 years of magic, 12 trophies and 115 goals that no one will take away from us. Never. Thank you for supporting me in difficult times.
"Tomorrow will be my last match with this shirt, it's hard to imagine, but it will be our last goodbye. It will not be easy, but I will enter the field with a smile and my head held high, knowing that I have given everything for you."
Ahead of his imminent departure, it is worth looking back on his past comments on where his future could lie, and they do not paint a pretty picture for Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham. Seven years ago, he named two clubs he dreams of playing for perhaps showing that there may be a challenge in convincing him to join either of the trio.
Speaking in 2015, Dybala made the following comments to Guerin Sportivo via the Daily Express. He explained: "When I play with the PlayStation, I always choose Barcelona or Manchester City. I dream to play one day with one of those clubs."
