Chelsea ready to activate Paulo Dybala's release clause in January (reliability: 3 stars)

Chelsea are prepared to trigger Paulo Dybala's release clause this month, as per Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

A special clause in the Argentine's contract at AS Roma allows him to leave the club in the January window for just €12 million.

Fabrizio Romano has clarified the situation: if Italian clubs trigger the clause, decision up to Roma, if it's a foreign club, decision is up to the player.

30-year-old Dybala remains a key player for Jose Mourinho's side, scoring six goals and providing as many assists in 17 games across all competitions so far this season in a no.10 role.
