Diego Pablo Simeone has made his position clear to Atlético de Madrid: Paulo Dybala should be the man to replace Antoine Griezmann, who is all set to start his adventure in the MLS next summer. The Argentine coach's request is not new; in previous transfer windows, the name of the Argentine star echoed strongly in the offices of the Metropolitano City. However, various circumstances have prevented "La Joya" from wearing the red and white shirt.

The current Roma player remains one of "Cholo's" biggest desires. His quality, experience, and versatility in attack make him a key piece that could fit perfectly into Atlético's offensive scheme, not only as a complement to the current forwards but also as Griezmann's natural replacement. Furthermore, the possibility of competing for titles and in the Champions League are attractive incentives that could convince Dybala to swap the Italian capital for Madrid.

A Golden Opportunity

The player's contractual situation also presents an opportunity for Atleti. With a release clause of 20 million euros, his signing could be finalized immediately if the Madrid club decides to invest now, or alternatively wait a few months to secure his arrival at no cost. This duality poses a dilemma for the Colchonero board, which does not want to risk losing a player with such quality and international experience.

As time ticks away, Simeone holds on to hope that the red and white project will be able to entice Dybala, a footballer who seems destined to make the leap to LaLiga to write a new chapter in his career.
