Diego Pablo Simeone has indicated his desire for Atlético de Madrid to sign Paulo Dybala as a replacement for Antoine Griezmann, who is expected to move to the MLS next summer. Dybala, who currently plays for Roma, is considered a perfect fit in Atlético's offensive scheme due to his quality, experience, and versatility. The player has a release clause of 20 million euros, and Atlético has the option to either sign him immediately by paying the clause or wait a few months to acquire him for free. The chance to compete for titles and participate in the Champions League could attract Dybala to Madrid.

Spanish media outlet Todofichajes has reported that Paulo Dybala is nearing a move to Atletico Madrid after turning down an offer from Galatasaray. Diego Simeone is keen to have the star player in his team, and Dybala is reportedly interested in joining a top European club, which makes the offer from Atletico appealing to him. Since Dybala's contract with AS Roma is due to expire this summer, he is free to negotiate with any club. This potential transfer is particularly noteworthy as it would fulfill Dybala's long-standing ambition to play in La Liga. Although he received lucrative offers from Turkish clubs, Dybala's preference to remain at a top-tier European club has inclined him towards Atletico Madrid. It is noted that Simeone has been interested in Dybala for the past two years, and with the possible departure of Antoine Griezmann, Dybala is seen as a cost-effective addition to the Argentine lineup at Atletico, provided he is willing to adjust his financial expectations.
