Zamparini: ‘Juventus can have Dybala’

Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini believes Paulo Dybala has been ‘corrupted’ by agents, while confirming he’d prefer to sell the player to Juve.

Speaking to Tuttosport today, Zamparini confirmed a number of clubs are interested in the 21-year-old striker, but revealed he has a particular destination in mind.

“There was no contact with Napoli, but it’s true that I’ve been in touch with [Juventus director Giuseppe] Marotta,” Zampa told TS.

“He phoned and said: ‘President, if you sell him, Juve is here. We are ready to negotiate, and we are very interested in your lad’.

“I told him: Beppe, I’m glad and if I can I’ll sell it to you. I’d prefer that, as it would keep Dybala in Italy.

“But knowing him as I do, I was clear: Don’t expect a discount. Remember [Javier] Pastore.

“But I’ve already had offers from all of Europe. Chelsea, Paris-Saint Germain, Spanish clubs and other English teams.”
