It's not the first time that Paulo Dybala has been linked with a move to Atleti, but this is the first indication of a possible transfer agreement.
As the aforementioned news source reports, the player's brother and agent, Gustavo Dybala, has everything laid out with the Atletico sporting director, Andrea Berta.
With Antoine Griezmann's future up in the air, Atletico cannot bank on the Frenchman leading the line at the Wanda Metropolitano next season and want to replace him with another world-class forward.
If Griezmann bids farewell, Dybala would be the perfect replacement. According to the 'Daily Mail,' Atlético will have to fork out €100 million to meet the Argentine's buy-out clause.
The Argentine was spotted in a Madrid restaurant chatting with Diego Simeone just over a week ago and now news of a transfer agreement has caused rumours to heat up even more.
