Spurs came very close to signing Juventus forward Paulo Dybala over the summer and although the Argentinian now seems settled at the Italian side, Jose Mourinho is still reportedly very interested in the 26-year-old.
According to Italian outlet Tuttosport (via SportWitness), Dybala is now very keen on staying with the Italian giants, who could protect him by offering him a new contract, although Spurs remain interested in the Argentinian forward.
However, the report claims that in order to take him from Juventus, a ‘super offer with three zeros’ is required.
The North London side seemingly came very close to signing Dybala over the summer but reportedly came unstuck over the 26-year-old’s image rights.
Since then, Dybala has been in sensational form for the Old Lady; averaging a 7.12 rating in all competitions, as well as producing seven goals and two assists, so it is no surprise that Juventus are now keen on keeping the former Palermo man. Despite his recent run in the first-team and excellent form, it seems as if Jose Mourinho is looking to reignite Spurs’ interest in the talented forward in the upcoming transfer window.
Would Dybala be a good signing for Spurs?
Yes

TIF Tactics:
It would surely be difficult for Mourinho to convince the forward to move to North London, with the attacker seemingly happy to stay put. The 26-year-old showed his credentials with a superb free-kick against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night to take his tally to seven for the season for Maurizio Sarri’s side.
If Mourinho was able to bring in the £67.5 million rated man he could prove to be the ideal long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen; who could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
However, it seems as if Spurs missed their golden opportunity to sign the 26-year-old in the summer, as Sarri is unlikely to want to sell Dybala when considering his recent strong form.
