Paulo Dybala’s partner may play a key role in his move from Juventus to Tottenham Hotspur, per The Daily Mail.

What’s the word?

Spurs, the report claims, have reached an agreement with Juve to sign Dybala for a fee of £69m ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline.

The Argentina international is said to be open to the prospect of playing under Mauricio Pochettino in north London, though he would like a wage of £300,000-per-week, a deal that would make him the club’s highest-paid player.

Indeed, The Mail claims that Dybala’s partner, Oriana Sabatini, is keen to live in the capital, though he would have to accept a reduced wage to make the move happen.

Juventus are said to be keen to move the 25-year-old on as they seek to raise funds for a move for Manchester United’s Romelu Lukaku.

Keep the family happy

This could be Spurs’ secret weapon.

Indeed, Manchester United courted Dybala but the Red Devils ultimately pulled out due to his wage demands and issues over image rights, per reports.

However, the prospect of living in London seems to appeal to Dybala’s significant other and that could sway things in Spurs’ direction.

Of course, an agreement still needs to be reached but one feels that the influence of his partner will have a significant impact on proceedings.

The Premier League side do not have long to seal the deal, particularly with the deadline coming on Thursday, but family matters may see them complete an impressive coup.
