FC Barcelona’s multi million pound bid for Paulo Dybala has reportedly been rejected by Juventus.
The 22 year-old Argentinian striker, who signed for Juventus in 2015 from Palermo for a figure of €32m plus add-ons, has had a very successful first season after scoring 23 goals in all competitions. After hearing about Barcelona’s reported interest in him, Dybala made clear his intention to remain at the Serie A club. “I don’t know anything about it so I can’t say anything,” said Dybala (as reported by football-italia). “My future will definitely be here. I strongly believe in myself, nobody expected a year like this in terms of goals and wins.”
Dybala’s contributions were crucial in helping Juventus win a record straight 5th Serie A title, further strengthening The Old Lady’s grip on the top division of Italian football. Nicknamed ‘The Jewel’ by his fans and followers back in his home-country, Dybala is increasingly gaining in stature as he looks to follow a long line of successful Argentinian strikers to set Serie A ablaze with his electric pace, technique and an appetite for goals.
Dybala is due to compete in the Rio Olympics in August for his national side after being left out of Argentina’s Copa America squad by manager Tata Martino. However, Juventus, have denied giving Dybala the go-ahead and releasing him for Olympics that’ll coincide with the start of the 2016/17 season.
It doesn’t come as a surprise to many that Barcelona have shown interest in the young Argentinian who fits perfectly into the profile of the kind of players that Barcelona are on the look-out for in the coming summer transfer window. As Barcelona was found wanting of a Plan-B in this year’s champions league, the calls for a striker who can act as an alternative for MSN, have risen amongst the Blaugrana fans.
With further and continued interest from big-wigs like PSG and Real Madrid going into the upcoming transfer window, Juventus can expect a lot of inquiries from potential suitors chasing Dybala’s signature. It’ll be very interesting to see how Juventus manage to resist big money offers, especially after having already resisted selling their prized possession Paul Pogba last year.
