A call from Jose Mourinho was key to Paulo Dybala signing for AS Roma.

Dybala, after being released by Juventus, has agreed to sign for Roma this week after passing a medical on Monday in Portugal.

La Repubblica says a personal call from Mourinho helped convince Dybala about the move.

The Roma coach told the Argentina striker: "What are you coming to do? To win.

"Both the Coppa Italia and the Europa League are within our reach. I don't know the rest, but with you ... nothing is impossible."
