Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti has revealed they were close to signing Juventus striker Paulo Dybala.

Zanetti admits Inter were close to getting him when he left Palermo.

“When he was at Palermo we were very close to getting him, but in the end we didn't succeed. Now he plays for our rival, but we never stop to admire him.

“What he does with the national team is beautiful, we hope he can continue like this and give us a lot of satisfaction."
