Reliable journalist: NUFC have now 'made contact' over signing 'world-class' phenomenon for free

Newcastle United have reportedly now ‘made contact’ over the possibility of signing Paulo Dybala on a free transfer in the summer.

Dybala is now set to leave Juventus as a free agent this summer, after failing to agree on a new deal with the Old Lady.

Currently rated at £36m by Transfermarkt, the club who end up signing him would be getting a real bargain on their hands, signing a player who has racked up 14 goals and six assists this season.

Taking to Twitter, reliable ESPN journalist James Olley has revealed that the St. James’ Park faithful are one of a number of clubs to have ‘made contact’ with the representatives of Dybala over a potential move in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal have also done the same, although nothing is at an ‘advanced stage’ yet, and Dybala is ‘assessing’ his options.

Signing a player of Dybala’s quality on a free is surely a no-brainer for the North East club.

The Argentina international has recorded over 200 goal contributions for both club and country over the course of his career so far, and is in his prime at 28 years of age.

Described as ‘world-class’ and ‘phenomenal’ by former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson, brining in Dybala would pave the way for other stars to arrive on Tyneside, which would really help elevate Eddie Howe’s squad.
