Arsenal will meet with Palermo for Paulo Dybala but reports in the Italian media suggest the player wants to join Juventus.
The Gunners are known to have been following the 21-year-old Argentine for some time, while Manchester United are reported to have already made an initial offer of €40m to Palermo for the player.
Arsenal are said to be stepping up their interest in the talented forward with a meeting scheduled between Palermo and the north-London side in the next few days.
According to transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the two sides are scheduled to meet in Milan on Wednesday or Thursday but it may come to nothing. Di Marzio is also reporting that Dybala has a firm intention to stay in Italy for the foreseeable future and wants to join Juventus.
While Palermo president president Maurizio Zamparini has insisted that he wants at least €40m for Dybala, Juve director Beppe Marotta will try and lower the price by including the Bianconeri’s half of Edoardo Goldaniga, the Italy Under-21 international defender currently co-owned by the two clubs.
Dybala has been the revelation of Serie A this season, scoring 12 Serie A goals and providing eight assists.

Buy him Beppe. Dybala and Vazquez for Zaza + 25m and maybe a youth player/Pepe/Marrone. Zaza is probably worth more than the 15m we’d have to spend to buy him back. Tevez-Dybala with Vazquez behind would be nice. Rotate Berardi and Morata in and out until Tevez leaves and we will be good. 4-3-3 could be lethal in a few seasons. Vidal-Marchisio-Vazquez behind Berardi-Morata-Dybala. Potentially devastating.
I have zero interest in bringing zaza here … what has he really shown to be annointed a spot for next year ..
I don’t want him here either, he is a pawn in the Dybala + Vazquez deal. We buy him back for the 15m we have an agreement to pay, and include him in a deal with a value of 18-20m.
Juve should just stop being a bunch of tight wads and sign a player once in a while for what their worth … Never mind this loan deal, swap deal, try and send a couple of youth players to lower the price tag bull shit .. It’s like that all the time.. Offer 25 million cash straight up. If they take it, great, if not, fine move and get someone else … They have money, they’re full of shit when they say they don’t .
Morata has to be a starter on this team moving forward … The kid is sick bro.
I would sell my heart for that 4-3-3
wow. why aren’t you working for juve? good call…
I’d like Dybala, but not for that price tag. If we spend 40mill on a player, that player shouldn’t be Dybala. So no he I wouldn’t be happy with him being the main signing this summer.
We can have Zaza and Berardi both for less than 40mill. I read we are offering youth players to lower the price, but I don’t want to give them Marrone, fuck that. They can have Padoin and all the others we don’t want
What’s so special about Marrone? If he was so good, he would be playing… He’s been on the fringes for years and will probably never play here … It’s not like Juve wouldn’t play him due to age (pogba and morata, both 21 year olds), if he was good enough he’d play.
He’s injured
I think Marrone would’ve been a quality player. Never given a constant run of games to show his worth.
meh ..
He’s a good versatility player too, he’s a reliable CB and CM. He was good at Sassuolo too. Just unlucky with injuries so far and it’s holding him back to break through
Dybala? Yes. 40 Million Euros? HELL NO!
To be honest, I’m still on the Jovetic bandwagon. Forget Dybala, they want way to much for him. Jovetic on the other hand is clearly leaving City next transfer window after not being selected in the Champs league squad
Good point, Dybala is promising but far too costly. Not sure I’d go for Jovetic though, he hasn’t shown much and is injury prone. If he would be available for 15mill, more or less, I’d take the risk and get him. For more money than that they can keep him imo
Completely agree with the price you mentioned for him, but I think that he won’t be so injury prone playing in Serie A. The EPL is just a very physical league.
Wasn’t he quit injury prone at Fiorentina too? can’t remember really..
But I do agree that EPL might not be the best league for him
oh my god. marchisio’s season is over. whats happening to the midfield!?
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit Marchisio is out for the rest of the season, cruciate ligament torn :/
This sucks balls, Pogba out for such a long time too, Pereyra, better turn your beast mode on! We’ll need you badly to perform. In the league I guess Sturaro will get to play more than expected now
I’m almost certain Padoin will start ahead of Sturaro…
Going to spoon my eyeballs out if I have to watch Padoin start all remaining games of the season
For fuck’s sake…….
Fuck international breaks. It always happens in those breaks. Pogba out, Pirlo out, Marchisio out. Prepare for Pereyra, Vidal, Padoin?..
I know right? I wonder how would it affect the viewer numbers if all internationals were after the leagues are over. Would people even watch it?
It’s impossible, players need their vacations :p People would watch it if it’s official games. I atleast would. I wouldn’t watch a friendly when the leagues are over, though i don’t really watch friendlies now either.
And then this happens, why couldn’t it be Rannochia or Candreva or someone else…
Why couldn’t it be someone from a country at the other side of the world? :p
