Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has revealed that he has two bids of €30m on his desk for striker Paulo Dybala, but is not prepared to let the Argentine leave for less than €40m.

Zamparini is looking to cash in on Dybala this summer after talks over a new contract between player and club broke down.




Dybala has been linked with a whole host of clubs, including Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Juventus, with his fine performances in Serie A not going unnoticed.

 


It has been claimed that Dybala's preference is to remain in Italy, but Juventus are having trouble meeting Palermo's asking price, while €40m is thought to price Napoli out of a deal too.

Zamparini says he has already had offers for the 21-year-old striker, but they fall short of his €40m asking price.

The Palermo president told GR Parlamento: "For Dybala, I have received concrete proposals, two for €30m from two clubs, but I have said I want €40m."

And Zamparini explained that the chances of Dybala remaining in Italy can be put at no higher than 50-50.

"Yes, they could take him", Zamparini said of Juventus.

"I am in contact with [Giuseppe] Marotta [Juventus CEO]. I know he is keen, but he must hurry, I have other teams after him.

"After Easter I will speak with Dybala's agent, as he is also working on the boy's future.

"Will he stay in Italy or go abroad? It's 50-50.

"Napoli? [president Aurelio] De Laurentiis wants him."

Dybala has hit the back of the net on 12 occasions in Serie A for Palermo this season, but is only under contract with the club until the summer of 2016.

In anticipation of his sale, Zamparini has already begun to hunt a replacement.
