Barcelona star Lionel Messi has informed Paulo Dybala he won't be moving to the Nou Camp this week.

The Argentina teammates are good friends and Messi had hoped for the Juventus striker to join him this summer.

However, Messi was informed by Barca directors that after the arrival of Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund, plans to sign Dybala were now shelved.

The Argentine has since relayed the news to Dybala, who has accepted the decision calmly.

Indeed, the striker is now fully committed to Juve, convinced they're a stronger Champions League prospect than Barca and now proudly sporting the No10 shirt this season.
