# Tottenham Hotspur: Paul Robinson urges Spurs to sign Paulo Dybala

**Former Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson has urged the club to try and sign Juventus forward Paulo Dybala on a free transfer in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: Dybala’s contract

As per reliable journalist [Fabrizio Romano](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1505892040818966533) (21 March), the Argentina international will leave the Serie A club at the end of the season upon the expiry of his contract.

Juventus had a [verbal agreement](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1505898174736904194) with the player back in October, but due to a change of heart, the Turin outfit went back on their proposal, duly infuriating the 28-year-old.

Whilst Spurs have been frequently linked with a move for the forward, football.london’s [Alasdair Gold](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M706f3HYNiY) has now reported that Fabio Paratici is not desperate to sign the player.

### The Latest: Robinson’s claims on Dybala

Robinson has urged Paratici to make a U-turn and go back in for the Argentine.

Speaking with [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-told-to-u-turn-on-paul-dybala-stance-after-journalists-update-robinson/), he claimed: *“You would like to think Spurs are in the running for him.* *They have the contacts to do a deal in Conte and Paratici.*

*“A player like that on a free, regardless of his age, would be an amazing addition. To have a player who has been there, done it and won it would be an asset.*

*“Whether he would play week in, week out at Spurs I’m not sure. You cannot deny that he is a top-class player thought. He has a lot to offer.*

*“He’s the sort of name they need if they want to consistently be in that top four.”*

### The Verdict: Right decision?

Despite the prospective free transfer, a move for the [£36m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/marktwertverlauf/spieler/206050) attacker would prove quite costly due to his staggering [£222,000-per-week salary](https://salarysport.com/football/player/paulo-dybala/). Some would argue that these figures are justified, given the high praise heaped upon the Argentine by Juventus icon Michel Platini, who [drew glowing comparisons](https://ronaldo.com/football-news/platini-full-of-praise-for-maradona-like-dybala/) with some legends of the game.

However, Paratici worked with Dybala at Juventus [for six years](https://www.footballinsider247.com/tottenham-told-to-u-turn-on-paul-dybala-stance-after-journalists-update-robinson/), and he was even the facilitator in bringing the player to the club in the first place.

Therefore, if the Spurs chief doesn’t think that the 28-year-old is worth the money, then there can’t be many people more qualified to make that assertion, so declaring a pass on this potential transfer could prove to be the right move from the Lilywhites.
