Roma star Paulo Dybala represents one of the potential bargains of the summer transfer window due to the presence of two release clauses in his contract.

Dybala has two minimum fee release clauses in his Roma contract.

The first release clause stands at just €12 million and is valid for foreign clubs only.

The second release clause is €20m and is valid for Serie A teams only.

If these clauses are met then Roma have no power in stopping Dybala from leaving.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with making a move for Dybala this summer.

The Red Devils famously came close to signing Dybala in the summer of 2019 in a swap deal with Romelu Lukaku, only for the Argentina to reject the move.

United are set to improve their attack this summer and Dybala is one of the players they are considering moving for.

Dybala signed for Roma on a free transfer last summer on a three-year deal until 2025.

Dybala's contract is worth €4.5 million per season with another €1.5m per season in add-ons. There is the option for a fourth year, also.

The Argentine had been a free agent since leaving Juventus at the end of his contract last season, with the breakup being acrimonious after the Bianconeri went back on a previous gentleman’s agreement to extend his deal.

Dybala has endured a number of injuries at the Stadio Olimpico but has impressed massively when he has played.

He has been Roma’s star player this season, scoring 11 goals and delivering six assists in all competitions from 18 starts.

What did Dybala say about Roma clause?

When asked about the clause in his contract in February, Dybala said: “I respect the clause, but it’s something between my agents at the club. I don’t know what will happen at the end of the season.

“I don’t know about my future; imagine the coach’s. I’d like to be coached by him [Mourinho] because he is one of the best, I want to win with him. Now, I only think about doing well. I want to win with Roma and help the team qualify for the Champions League.”
