72 goal, 38 assist shadow striker Paulo Dybala would be a perfect fit for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
Dybala has been linked with a move to Anfield and it would be a massive outlay in terms of transfer fee. Transfermarkt value the Argentine at £90 million, but it would surely take a bid exceeding that to land the forward.
But if the 25-year-old was a serious option, it would be a perfect fit for Liverpool and a huge boost for the squad and Koppites from all around the world.
Liverpool need another top option in case Roberto Firmino goes down injured or Klopp needs to change things up, which is something the team lacks. Dybala would fill that void magnificently, and you could even play the two South Americans at the same time!

Fabio Capello loves him, as does Pietro Anastasi. They praised the Argentina international’s technical ability and maturity, and made pains to point out that Dybala would not end up as another Mario Balotelli.
Not only does he have the silk, but he had the steel to go alongside it. Just like Luis Suarez, Dybala has an incredible never-say-die attitude alongside a burning fighting spirit that means he gives everything he had on the pitch.
Rapid pace and dribbling ability are great, but Gennaro Gattuso taught him how to withstand a kicking from defenders and that’ll set him up beautifully for life in the Premier League.
So Dybala has the attitude. He has the skill. He can take a roughing up from defenders and come out the other side smiling, normally with a goal. But can he play for Liverpool under Klopp?
This is a forward who brings others into the game but who also scores himself. Remind you of anyone? And just like Firmino, Dybala can play in a withdrawn role or as the main man. For 2017/2018, the Juventus star scored 16 and assisted five in 23 games as a shadow striker.
He’s pretty much perfect. The only problem will be his massive value, and the fact that Juve might not be keen to sell given the fact that their forward line is ageing and Dybala is definitely one for the future.
