AS Roma chief Tiago Pinto says signing Paulo Dybala was all about speed,

Roma swooped for Dybala last year from Juventus, with the Argentina striker now in his second season with the Giallorossi.

Pinto recalled: “We managed the timing perfectly, considering that at the start of the transfer market there were two other clubs on him.

"The contingencies were in our favor, given that the former could not close the deal, while the latter was changing coach.

"We therefore decided to accelerate and we managed to close the deal within a week."
