Mauricio Pochettino wants to bring Paulo Dybala to Stamford Bridge, the new Blues boss looking to put his stamp on the team and mold it in his image.
To do this, you can seek the help of some of your compatriots. It was claimed on Wednesday that Inter star Lautaro Martinez would relish the chance to play for Pochettino.
Now, Corriere dello Sport links Roma’s Paulo Dybala with a possible move to London. Whether a deal is realistic for a Dybala who, at 29, is far from the player he once was, is up for debate, but it is true that Pochettino is a longtime admirer of his fellow Argentine.
The 51-year-old already wanted to bring Dybala to London when he was Tottenham’s head coach, and in fact also tried to sign him during his time in charge of Paris Saint-Germain.
When Tottenham played Juventus five years ago, Pochettino compared Dybala to some of the best players of this generation. “He is that type of player, like Messi, Neymar and Cristiano. They have the ability to give the team a different option.”

termination clause
What could make Dybala such an attractive proposition, despite his age and injury history, is his paltry release clause.
Italian clubs would have to pay €20m to sign the Roma man, but foreign clubs can sign the Argentine for just €12m.
Of course, the World Cup winner and former Juventus star would likely have a hefty salary, which could make agreeing personal terms difficult.
However, according to Italian media, Pochettino is keen to test the waters regarding a possible deal as he sees Dybala as a solid option to add more firepower to a Chelsea attack that struggled to find bottom of the network steadily the last period.
