Chelsea, Tottenham ready to pay big to land Juventus contract rebel Dybala

Chelsea and Tottenham are watching Paulo Dybala's situation at Juventus.

France Football says both Premier League sides are "willing to pay €55million (£48m)" to sign Dybala, who will enter the final year of his contract in Turin this summer.

Juventus' early Champions League exit, in which they lost to Porto on away goals in the last-16, has increased the need to offload players this summer and Dybala, who has fallen down the pecking order under Andrea Pirlo, is seen as a potential trading chip at the end of the season.

Dybala has been sidelined since January with ligament damage and Pirlo has persisted with Cristiano Ronaldo, Federico Chiesa, Alvaro Morata and Dejan Kulusevski as his attackers.

The 27-year-old has managed just three goals and two assists in 16 games this season.

Despite being named Serie A Most Valuable Player last season as Juventus wrapped up a ninth consecutive season, no new deal has been secured and the Old Lady will not want to lose him for nothing in 12 months' time.
