Palermo president Zamparini coy over Dybala destination

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini remains coy over Paulo Dybala's next destination.

Juventus are favourites to sign the Argentine.

"Dybala? He's the new [Lionel] Messi," Zamparini told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.

"[Edinson] Cavani is a better target man than the Argentine, but he [Dybala] plays all over the field, that's why I define him as the new Messi.

"Do Napoli want him? Not at the moment, I think we'll have to wait until we know who the next Napoli Coach is, but the lad could be gone by then.

"I'd have liked to have continued our relationship with Napoli, but the player decides, along with his agent and I think he prefers somewhere which will guarantee him the biggest competitions.

"Even [Milan President Silvio] Berlusconi asked me [about Dybala], I saw him at Arcore last week, but my impression is that Palermo don't have much say in the decision.

"It will be his agents who decide."
