Dibu-mania is more current than ever. It turns out that the 30-year-old goalkeeper has been having wonderful seasons, both at Aston Villa and in the Argentine National Team, and for this reason, he has aroused the interest of several leading institutions in Europe. It is that the man from Mar del Plata has wonderful conditions that not everyone who occupies his position has today.

Undoubtedly, what stands out the most about the goalkeeper who emerged from Independiente de Avellaneda is his overwhelming personality. Obviously, in the end, what matters most are his reflexes under the three sticks, but it is not for nothing that he is the captain of the Birmingham team, just two seasons after joining this team, which today occupies 11th place in the Premier League .

In addition, it has been proven that the best version of him can be seen in moments of high pressure, something that was evident in the World Cup final against France. There, he stopped a one-on-one in the 123rd minute and with the game even. Then, the famous penalty that gave his teammates that advantage when it came to taking it, which ended with Gonzalo Montiel scoring the final one.

It was thus that he captured the interest of several clubs in Europe. One of them was that of Inter from Italy, who has a 38-year-old Handanovic on his fence and on the verge of retirement. For its part, Tottenham also wrote it down in his notebook with the aim of fighting inch by inch for a place in the starting eleven with Hugo Lloris, something that would not convince either of the two goalkeepers.

The team that stings to sign Dibu

According to indications from England, Manchester United is the one who is most interested in keeping the Argentine pass. The strategy I would have to convince him is to give him a top salary worldwide. David De Gea has a contract until June 2023, and if he does not agree to continue it, he would have 20 million euros available per year for Dibu, which is what the Spaniard receives.
