Palermo president Zamparini: Tight-fisted Juventus want Dybala

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini admits Juventus are pushing hard to sign Paulo Dybala. Zamparini, however, says Dybala won't leave on the cheap.

"Is Dybala worth €50m?" Zamparini considered, speaking to Radio 24. "At 21-years-old, how much would Messi be? He was like Dybala, and Dybala is the new Messi.

"They have bigger wallets in Qatar, therefore the French [Paris Saint-Germain] could pay it.

"I'd prefer [to sell to] Napoli above all, because [President Aurelio] De Laurentiis is very nice to me, and if Dybala becomes like Maradona he'd pay for himself in four years.

"With €40m we can buy other players to improve the team.

"Juventus are the most determined for the player, they have €40m, but also a tight fist.

"PSG are in pole, and would pay more than anyone, but [UEFA President Michel] Platini has invented Financial Fair Play.

"Let's remember though, that Platini's son works for PSG. Anyway, there are six teams in for him."
