Paulo Dybala has addressed speculation linking him to Manchester United, with the Roma forward available on a cut-price deal this summer.

Dybala joined Roma on a three-year deal last summer after his contract at Juventus expired and the Argentine has netted 12 goals in all competitions for Jose Mourinho’s side.

However, Dybala is understood to have a release clause in his contract that would allow teams outside of Italy to sign the World Cup winner for just €12 million.

BARGAIN!: Dybala's stunning release clause

As a result, a host of Premier League teams are believed to be monitoring the situation, with Roma in danger of not qualifying for next season’s Champions League as they are only in the top four of Serie A by goal difference.

Speaking to MARCA, Dybala refused to be drawn on his future, insisting that he was focused on Roma despite admitting that he wasn’t sure what could happen down the line.

“Surely, we’ll talk about this later on,” Dybala said. “My future is here, I want to bring Roma as high as possible and I think we can do it. I don’t know what will happen in the future. The next games are the most important things.”

Dybala attracting ‘value for money’ interest

Dybala has been a highly-rated talent since moving to Italy as a teenager in 2012, impressing with Palermo before joining Juve in 2015, where he spent seven seasons and established himself as one of the best players in the country.

The 29-year-old has struggled with injury throughout the course of his career, limiting the interest in teams wanting to make a big money move for him, however his release clause could represent an interesting proposition.

While teams inside Italy would have to pay €20m for Dybala, the discounted fee for Premier League sides has led to reported interest from the likes of United, Chelsea and Newcastle, although none have yet to make an official approach.

Roma beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in the first leg of their Europa League knockout tie, with Dybala grabbing an assist, although he failed to score, making it just two goals in his last ten games across all competitons.
