Barcelona eye up move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala

Barcelona are eyeing up a move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala as a potential long-term replacement for Lionel Messi.

The highly-rated Argentina international joined the Old Lady last summer from Palermo, and hit the ground running with a fantastic 19 goals in 34 Serie A games.
Dybala may have got off to a slow start this season – he’s failed to score in his opening five Serie A appearances – but Tuesday’s wonder-strike against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League highlighted his permanent quality.

The 22-year-old’s direct style of play, wonderful left foot and Argentine heritage has seen many compare him to Barcelona’s own star Messi, and there are now suggestions that the La Liga giants are keeping tabs on the former’s progress.

Mundo Deportivo report that Barcelona are keen to continue their transfer activity of bringing in bright, young talent, and Dybala fits that criteria.
