Roma attacker Paulo Dybala is reportedly in contact with his ex-Juve teammate and close friend Alvaro Morata.

Over recent weeks, Roma have been targeting Morata as Tammy Abraham’s replacement.

However, negotiations have proven difficult due to Atletico’s demands and Morata’s own lack of conviction.

As a result, Il Messaggero reports that Paulo Dybala has been frequently contacting Morata in the last few weeks, wanting to convince him to join Roma.

Moreover, Roma boss Jose Mourinho is said to also have reached out to the Spanish striker as he remains his first choice for the attack.
