Juventus forward Paulo Dybala rejected an offer from Barcelona, according to the man who runs his agency.
The Argentinian international joined the Bianconeri in a €40m move from Palermo last summer, and got 19 Serie A goals and nine assists in his first season in Turin.
“When I talk with Paulo and his agent, Pierpaolo Triulzi, I have proof that the lad is really on the right track,” Gustavo Mascardi, founder of Grupo Mascardi, which represents Dybala, told Gazzamercato.

“A year ago Inter and Milan also wanted him, but he was right to choose the club which would give him more safeguards. His career at Juventus has just begun.
“Will he stay at Juventus for a long time? The transfer market can offer a lot of temptations, but Paulo has shown himself to have clear ideas.
“It’s true that in recent months Barcelona were interested in La Joya, I think they made a bid of double what the Bianconeri paid [€80m].
“But the player’s first consideration was that it was more important to consolidate his experience at a club which is giving him the opportunity to succeed at the highest levels.”
