Palermo chairman Maurizio Zamparini has moved to reveal the identity of all sides that are showing interest in Argentine striker Paulo Dybala.
The controversial president appears ready to cash in on his star player having been disappointed with his behaviour of late, and he is determined to sell to the highest bidder.
Zamparini has suggested that he would prefer Dybala to join Juventus, while naming other clubs that have contacted the Rosanero with regards to the talented forward.
“There was no contact with Napoli, but it’s true that I’ve been in touch with (Juventus director Giuseppe) Marotta,” Zamparini confessed to Tuttosport.
“He phoned and said: ‘President, if you sell him, Juve is here. We are ready to negotiate, and we are very interested in your lad’.
“I told him: Beppe, I’m glad and if I can I’ll sell it to you. I’d prefer that, as it would keep Dybala in Italy.
“But knowing him as I do, I was clear: Don’t expect a discount. Remember (Javier) Pastore.
“But I’ve already had offers from all of Europe. Chelsea, Paris-Saint Germain, Spanish clubs and other English teams.”
Paulo Dybala exploded onto the big stage this season, having managed 11 goals and 6 assists in 22 Serie A outings.
The 21-year-old has so far been linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs and he is almost certain to leave Stadio Renzo Barbera for greener pastures at the end of the season.
Ninth-placed Palermo play host to Napoli next weekend and they are available at 13/5 to defeat their more illustrious opponents.
