Barca want Juventus star to replace Neymar

Barca want Juventus star to replace Neymar

Barcelona are set to join the race for Paulo Dybala if they lose Neymar, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The Catalan paper claims that the Liga contenders will rival long-term admirers Real Madrid and Manchester United for the Juventus playmaker.

Dybala was linked to a move to Spain during the winter transfer window, but things cooled down after he signed a new deal with the Bianconeri.

El Mundo Deportivo claim that the Cules are ready to spend a crazy amount on the Argentine, who is considered to be Lionel Messi’s protege at international level.

The Argentine was recently the subject of a controversial interview with former team-mate Dani Alves, who said that someone like Dybala would need to leave Juventus to become a true global star.

“Dybala has a bright future ahead but I believe that one day, I don’t know when, he should be leaving Juventus to get even better", he told Canais Esporte Interativo back in June.
