Paulo Dybala and Antoine Griezmann are included in a swap deal by rivals, Juventus and FC Barcelona. Both the players have failed to regain their best form and a swap deal would be a wiser option under cards.

Paulo Dybala had been rumoured to play alongside his national teammate Lionel Messi. However, Antoine Griezmann had failed to replicate his top form while playing for Atletico Madrid in his current club.

Dybala has his contract expiring on next year June 30 whereas Griezmann would have his contract expiring on June 30, 2024. The latter is, however, unimpressed by his teammates especially the defenders at his current club.

Dybala and Griezmann – a perfect deal with both clubs emerging victorious!

As per Marca, both the clubs are looking for a sensational swap deal between Dybala and Griezmann. The Old Lady was successful previously in acquiring the services of Arthur Melo by swapping him with Miralem Pjanic. So both the clubs have a history with swap deals, however small it may be.

Whereas, for Paulo Dybala, the issue is the lack of playing time as Alvaro Morata took his place as a regular. He has made only a few appearances under the current head coach, Andrea Pirlo. Both the clubs, Juventus and Barca, are out of the Champions League, knocked by Porto and PSG respectively.

The 27-year-old Argentine was rumored to join Barcelona before Griezmann joined the club. Dybala had scored 98 goals in 244 appearances for the Italian heavyweights after joining from Palermo in 2015. However, he had appeared in 16 matches only this season scoring 3 goals.

Currently, there are other likely deals available for the two players. Antoine Griezmann is also under the radar of Manchester United and Arsenal whereas Liverpool are looking for a deal for Paulo Dybala.
