Dybala had looked close to joining Tottenham on the final day of the Premier League&#8217;s transfer window, but the potential move fell through after Juventus decided not to sell.<\/p>\n<p>But Dybala has insisted he didn&#8217;t want to leave Juventus, admitting the links to Tottenham and Manchester United weren&#8217;t a &#8220;nice thing&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t an easy summer,&#8221; he told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuttosport.com\/news\/calcio\/serie-a\/juventus\/2019\/10\/08-62047665\/dybala_juve_ora_ci_divertiamo\/?a=2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tuttosport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hearing your name linked to every team and every place, where you don&#8217;t want to go, isn&#8217;t a nice thing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But this is football, even if before the transfer window opened I said: &#8216;I want to stay here.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had already done an interview in which I said I wanted to stay in Turin, then I never spoke again: not even in the America&#8217;s Cup and on holidays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it was more important to let the pitch do the talking, even if until the last day no-one knew what would happen.
