Roma to go for Luis Muriel as Dybala's backup

Roma are working hard to sign an attacking player to improve the attacking options of the squad managed by Jose Mourinho. Currently, the favourite is Paulo Dybala, who is free after finishing his contract with Juventus.

However, the large number of clubs interested in the Argentinian player means that he has not decided on any option. In view of this situation, according to 'Il Messagero', the Roman side have considered Luis Muriel, the Atalanta striker.

The Colombian striker has been showing a great level in Serie A for years and in his last season he scored 14 goals in 39 games played. In addition, he would not leave for a high fee, as his contract with the Italian club expires in 2023.

Meanwhile, Napoli appear to be the team that is closest to signing Dybala, as in the last few hours they have made him an offer of six million euros per season and the possibility of playing in the Champions League.
