Arsenal have held talks with Juventus' out-of-contract forward Paulo Dybala ahead of a potential free transfer move this summer, according to a report.
The 28-year-old will leave Turin upon the expiration of his contract in June, following a failure between player and club to agree to a contract extension.
Dybala leaves Juventus after seven years with the Serie A side, following his £29m move from Palermo back in the summer of 2015, and there were emotional scenes as the Argentinian waved farewell to supporters in the final home game of the season against Lazio last weekend.
With the forward available on a free transfer at the end of the season though, numerous clubs around Europe have been heavily linked with an interest in acquiring his signature.
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are two of the sides said to be interested, and ESPN are reporting that the Gunners have held talks with Dybala's representatives in London.
However, the report also outlines how similar talks are due to be held with several other interested clubs around Europe in the coming weeks, before Dybala makes a decision on his next team ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Dybala has netted 10 goals and registered five assists in 28 Serie A appearances so far this season, ahead of his final game for Juventus at Fiorentina on Saturday evening.
