LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Paulo Dybala and Jose Mourinho have weighed in regarding the Argentine’s rumored summer transfer to Chelsea.
It is well-known that Mauricio Pochettino, the new manager of Chelsea, is a fan of Dybala and wanted to sign him while he was at Tottenham Hotspur.
Thiago Silva, a defender for the Blues, recently admitted he had asked Dybala if he would join Chelsea and professed his appreciation for the Argentine forward.
In response to the rumors, the 29-year-old superstar said he was content at Roma and was eager to begin preseason practice this month.

Dybala replied: “I’m motivated for pre-season, which we’re starting [on Monday],” when asked about a potential transfer to Chelsea by LaRoma24.
Your future? “At Roma, I feel content. I’ve decided to stay,” he said.
When asked about his attacker, Mourinho responded: “I don’t know anything about his contract. Roma are reportedly eager to extend Dybala’s deal, which is set to expire in 2025. As I do with all of my players, I definitely speak to Paulo”.
According to reports, Dybala’s contract has a £10 million ($12.8 million) release clause that non-Serie A clubs can use to acquire him.
Pochettino is reported to still desire one more forward to bolster his attack, despite the fact that Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku joined the club this season.
