Paulo Dybala has been told Tottenham would be the "best fit" for him as he prepares to leave Juventus in the summer transfer window. The Italian club recently confirmed that the Argentina international will leave at the end of the season upon the expiry of his contract.
Tottenham have been strongly linked with a move for Dybala, with transfer guru Fabio Paratici said to be a huge fan of the Juventus forward, but Chelsea are also thought to be watching his situation closely. According to 90Min, the Blues have made contact with Dybala's representatives through intermediaries and could make a move once the proctacted takeover of the club is complete.
Juventus CEO Maurizio Arrivabene, when speaking earlier in March, confirmed that the Argentine would leave the Old Lady at the end of the season after months of negotiations over extending his stay in Turin. He said: "The most important change is that Juventus has not renewed Paulo Dybala's contract.

"Juventus did not renew with Dybala: this is the change that has taken place from October to today. With the arrival of [Dusan] Vlahovic, the technical aspect, the team and the project have changed. Part of those changes relate to Dybala's contract which has not been renewed today.
"Today's meeting was friendly, very clear, respectful. On the part of Juve, it was not easy to make a lower offer, and they were not very respectful towards Paulo.
"He spent seven years with us, there's a respect for him. The decision was made, we thought about it a lot, but I want to underline one thing: the management of Juventus does not make decisions against Juventus, but for Juventus."
So, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham have all been linked with the soon-to-be free agent, but Don Hutchinson thinks Spurs would be the ideal fit for the 28-year-old. The former Liverpool midfielder told Premier League Productions, as reported by HITC: "Paulo Dybala is a really, really good player. "A technical player.
"Tottenham, I think would be the best fit for him. It just depends if he is fit enough and can play most games in the Premier League. It's a different task compared to Serie A and he hasn't played too many games for Juve this season.
"He has been in and out of the side. They can't seem to build the team around him. Contract talks have broken down.
"In an ideal world, he would like to stay in Serie A. But, if he comes to England, then I don't see him going to Manchester City, Liverpool or Man United etc.
"So, the best fit, for him, would be a club like Tottenham where he could be their Christian Eriksen a few years ago. He has to play as a 10."
