Paulo Dybala is a risk worth taking for Liverpool after new reports

Paulo Dybala could also be obtainable this summer time, in keeping with studies. This can be a threat price Liverpool taking.

Each the Mirror and Goal report that Paulo Dybala may go away Juventus this summer time. He’s coming as much as the final yr on his deal they usually don’t need him to go away without cost.

Reduce-price deal, then?

Now, he’d nonetheless command first rate wages – Dybala is on £225k-a-week – however that could be offset by a reduced charge. Optimistically, anyway.

Liverpool are reportedly conscious of the scenario, too, according to a 90min article from December.

The query is, would this make sense for Liverpool? We expect it could.

Cons

We’ll begin with the cons, right here, and there are two.

Firstly, Dybala’s harm document. He’s truly injured proper now, lacking 12 video games to this point. And the Argentine often picks up not less than one harm per season, often extra.

At a time when Liverpool wrestle with their harm disaster, this does sound like an odd thought. That’s the danger. It solely is sensible if the membership can handle his health.

Then the opposite challenge – his type. Dybala hasn’t truly been that good during the last two years. He did get 11 targets and 6 assists in Serie A over the 19/20 season, however that’s not his finest.

The yr earlier than was far worse – 5 targets and 4 assists. Not precisely something to get enthusiastic about.

So that is the second a part of the danger. Is that this a blip? His type did dip the second Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus and there could be one thing in that. If Liverpool imagine the expertise is there, we are able to ignore the latest type.

Execs

And now the enjoyable stuff.

Dybala at his finest is a unbelievable participant. We’ll put his information over his three finest seasons under:

15/16 – 19 targets, 9 assists

16/17 – 11 targets, 7 assists

17/18 – 22 targets, 5 assists

What we actually love, although, is that Dybala did this from two positions: attacking midfield and centre-forward. He’s able to thriving in each roles and that’s a uncommon expertise.

It additionally occurs to be precisely what Liverpool want. Roberto Firmino performs the ‘False 9’ place, which is basically enjoying within the house of each a no.9 and a no.10.

Dybala, then, naturally does that and he can present bucket a great deal of targets and assists whereas doing it.

No, he received’t press like Firmino however Liverpool might want to settle for that any Firmino-replacement prices you one thing. The Brazilian is simply too distinctive to exchange with out a price.

However the place Dybala would lack the vitality and urgent, he’d add targets, assists and a set-piece menace.

As Liverpool wrestle for creativity and targets from their False 9, we expect Dybala could possibly be the gamble they want proper now. He’d be obtainable for underneath his worth, given the contract, and will rejuvenate the assault.

He’d play in precisely the identical house as Firmino, which means no disruption to anybody else, however deliver extra incision. That, to us, is well worth the threat.
