Juventus are stepping up their interest in Palermo striker Paulo Dybala.

Dybala's agent, Gustavo Mascardi, is in Italy this week and met with Pierpaolo Triulzi yesterday to discuss their plans.

Gazzetta dell Sport says Triulzi is representing Dybala in Italy and discussed Serie A interest with Mascardi during their hotel meeting.

Juve are rated as the only local club capable of matching Palermo's valuation for Dybala.

It's understood Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has an agreement with Dybala's agents that his next destination will be decided inside the next month.
