AC Milan and Inter could contest a market derby to sign Paulo Dybala on a free transfer when he leaves Juventus, a report claims.
According to Calciomercato.com, a player like Dybala is of obvious appeal to both Milan and Inter. The Argentine is a player that Paolo Maldini admires and could the best possible gift to Stefano Pioli in the event of winning the Scudetto.
The club are looking for a long-term replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic too, something which Milan have been thinking about for months without being able to openly admit it, and the €7m net per season that the Rossoneri pay the Swede could go to Dybala.
Inter are also keen on landing the 28-year-old and Beppe Marotta was the first to come forward hoping to be able to lure Dybala to San Siro, while Milan can rely on Maldini who can use his charisma as a former champion as he has done with other deals.
For the moment, Dybala has only met Massara, Maldini’s right-hand man, on the occasion of an event organised in early March, where they spoke for a long time. He would represent a free transfer that could erase the scepticism that persists after the exits of Donnarumma, Calhanoglu and soon Kessie.
The report adds how – on a technical level – Milan seem to have already been designed for Dybala because he could play in the trident behind the striker or could even lead the line if Pioli wanted a more free-flowing football, giving a leap in quality to the team would be indisputable.
