Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain urges Paulo Dybala to stay

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain is urging Paulo Dybala to stay.

Dybala has been linked with Barcelona this summer.

“Dybala is at a delicate age which I've already experienced," Higuain explained to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I went to Real [Madrid] at 19 and I was there until I was 25, but I was at an important club for a long time.

“Everyone wants to play with great players, and I can't point a gun at his head and tell him to stay. Everyone should do what makes them happy, like he is here, and we all want him to stay.

“Can he win the Champions League here? Last year we were convinced we could win it and we got to the final, this year will be tougher because the other teams have strengthened.

“It's not just to win the Champions League that he should stay, but for the seventh Scudetto and a fourth Coppa Italia in a row, then if we get that particular trophy so much the better.

“He's been at Juve for two years, he has consistency here. He's young, he's very happy here, the club and the fans all love him, as do we, and Juve helped him grow.

“Paulo will know what's best for him, and we want him to stay."
