Paulo Dybala's model girlfriend urges Juventus star to complete Premier League transfer

Paulo Dybala has a couple of options on the table regarding a summer switch - and his future could be decided by his model girlfriend.

Manchester United were understood to be leading the race to sign the Juventus star, with Romelu Lukaku heading in the opposite direction, but they pulled out of the race over his wage demands.

That allowed Tottenham to step in and the north Londoners are in the process of negotiating personal terms after having a £70million bid accepted by the Italians.

And according to The Daily Mail , the Argentine forward's partner, Oriana Sabatini, is keen on a move to London.

The publication has claimed that Sabatini, an Argentine pop star who has been dating the footballer for around three years, has made clear her desire to relocate to the capital.

It is believed that Dybala is now very much aware that he has no future in Turin, and is therefore entertaining the idea of a move to the Premier League.

It seems Spurs are the more likely destination in England, after United pulled out of the race to sign him.

The Argentine was believed to be demanding a £350,000-a-week deal while another major sticking point was his complex contract demands involving a wrangle over his image rights.

There were long-standing doubts over whether Dybala actually wants to leave Italy for Old Trafford but his wage demands, agent fees and now the image rights ultimately ended United's interest.

And whether he moves to London remains to be seen, but his partner's wishes may well swing his decision.

Indeed it could be an exciting finale to the transfer window for Spurs fans, with the club also linked with a sensational move for Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho. c
