Paulo Dybala back on Benfica’s radar! Check out the latest updates | OneFootball

After having been on the radar during the summer transfer window, Paulo Dybala's name is once again being discussed. According to recent reports, the Argentine international is wanted by José Mourinho for January, and his current situation at Roma could help a deal with Benfica materialize.

"One thing that is already happening is Mourinho's bet on some academy players and another is looking at the market, for opportunities that may arise in January," began Pedro Sousa, commenting on the current approach of the Eagles, in line with what is being asked by the Special One.

"Paulo Dybala just turned 32, he is in the same age group as Rafa, although he is a bit younger, he is a player beyond reproach given his track record," added the Record journalist, about the athlete who, at the close of the transfer window, had already spoken about his future. "Gasperini's style of play does not suit Paulo Dybala," remarked Pedro Sousa.

"He is one of the players that Benfica is evaluating for the January window, in a combination of established players who can contribute immediately, and academy players in whom Mourinho will also immediately invest," revealed Pedro Sousa, highlighting what the Eagles' coach's plan will be.

"Dybala's contract ends — unlike Rafa, who has another year and a half — in June 2026. I want to remind everyone that he arrived at Roma from Juventus on a free transfer, because José Mourinho convinced him," said the journalist. "He is a player of unquestionable quality, a fantastic left foot, one of the things Benfica lacks," concluded Pedro Sousa, about the impact Dybala could have on the Special One's team.
