# Newcastle United: Magpies make contact with Paulo Dybala

**Newcastle United have reportedly now ‘made contact’ over the possibility of signing Paulo Dybala on a free transfer in the summer.**

### The Lowdown: Set to leave

Dybala is now [set to leave](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/profil/spieler/206050) Juventus as a free agent this summer, after failing to agree on a new deal with the Old Lady.

Currently rated at £36m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/profil/spieler/206050), the club who end up signing him would be getting a real bargain on their hands, signing a player who has racked up [14 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/leistungsdaten/spieler/206050) and six assists this season.

### The Latest: Contact made

Taking to Twitter, reliable ESPN journalist [James Olley](https://twitter.com/JamesOlley/status/1519948916950585344) has revealed that the St. James’ Park faithful are one of a number of clubs to have ‘made contact’ with the representatives of Dybala over a potential move in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal have also done the same, although nothing is at an ‘advanced stage’ yet, and Dybala is ‘assessing’ his options.

### The Verdict: No-brainer

Signing a player of Dybala’s quality on a free is surely a no-brainer for the North East club.

The Argentina international has recorded [over 200](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/paulo-dybala/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/206050) goal contributions for both club and country over the course of his career so far, and is in his prime at 28 years of age.

Described as [‘world-class’ and ‘phenomenal’](https://www.footballinsider247.com/robinson-liverpool-told-to-sign-phenomenal-firmino-replacement-as-stunning-raid-plotted/) by former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson, brining in Dybala would pave the way for other stars to arrive on Tyneside, which would really help elevate Eddie Howe’s squad.
