Palermo president: Juventus want Paulo Dybala, but they are stingy

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has said he could sell Paulo Dybala to Juventus, but described the club's owners as "stingy."

Zamparini said Juve target Dybala, also interesting Napoli, would cost at least €50 million, but told Radio 24: "They [Juventus] are owned by the Agnellis, and we all know who the Agnellis are -- they're from the Fiat school and they're stingy.

"They are the most determined so far, though."

Paris Saint-Germain have also asked about about the Argentinian striker, Zamparini said, but stressed that he would rather see the player stay in Italy.

"There are six clubs keen on Dybala," he said. "The richest are those from Qatar, with PSG, who earn a billion every day from gas and oil, but I prefer Napoli.

"They [Napoli] wouldn't have to pay cash up front -- they could pay me in instalments over four years.

"But if they don't give me 40 million then I'll keep hold of him. [Lionel] Messi was like Dybala is when he was 21. He's the new Messi, and believe me -- I know my stuff.

"I'm going to get 40 million for him, that's certain. But it's not my money, and it will all be invested in new players for Palermo."
