Paulo Dybala joined forces with Jose Mourinho after signing a three-year contract with Roma. Dybala, 28, left Juventus after seven years when his contract with the Turin club expired this summer.

"The days that led me to this signing were a combination of many emotions: the determination and the speed with which Roma showed they wanted me made the difference," Dybala said.

"I am joining a growing team, with a club that continues to lay ever more solid foundations for the future and a coach, Jose Mourinho, with whom it is a privilege to be able to work. As an opponent I admired the atmosphere created by the Giallorossi fans, I can't wait to greet them with the Roma shirt on."

He scored 115 goals in 293 games for Juventus and was given an emotional send-off alongside Giorgio Chiellini in their final game for the club in May.

Dybala had been linked to Inter Milan and Napoli, both of which qualified for the Champions League last season, but the 28-year-old will instead play in the Europa League with Roma.

"He has already joined up with his new teammates at the training camp in Portugal and will begin preparations for the new season this week," Roma said. "Dybala has opted to wear the No. 21 shirt for the club."

Under Mourinho, Roma finished sixth in Serie A and won the Europa Conference League. They begin their league campaign on August 14 with a trip to Salernitana.

Last season, Mourinho led Roma to the inaugural Europa Conference League title, their first continental trophy in 61 years.

It also made Mourinho the second manager after Giovanni Trapattoni to win five major European titles. Last season, Roma finished sixth in Serie A.

Dybala will look to replicate his Juve success at Roma. After joining Turin from Palermo in 2015, he won five Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia trophies.
