However Gianluca Di Marzio have quoted Zamparini saying that Dybala’s transfer price is out of reach for all Italian clubs.
In an interview with radio Kiss Kiss, the outspoken president said, “Although he’s very young, Dybala is amongst the best players in the world, just like Vazquez who is a great trequartista. I won’t talk about Dybala’s contract, I hired an agency for this matter since it’s no longer about the player but rather the South American agents involved”
