Palermo president Zamparini likens Dybala to Messi

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has again likened Paulo Dybala to Barcelona star Lionel Messi.

Zamparini has again declared Dybala is wanted by Arsenal.

"Dybala is not [Sergio Aguero] but the new [Lionel] Messi," Zamparini told Canal Plus.

"He's not an out-and-out striker, but operates in every area of the field, like Messi.

"Will he stay? No, because the player and his agent aspire to a big club, and they're right to do so. I've already received at least four offers.

"Two were from Italian clubs, and two were from abroad, and they include Arsenal and Juventus."
