Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini describes Juventus’ Paulo Dybala as “a young Lionel Messi” and says he’s worth €100m.
The forward left the Rosanero this summer in a €40m deal, and has gone on to score 12 goals for the Old Lady in his 20 Serie A appearances so far, as well as providing seven assists.
“I sold him for €32m plus €8m [in bonuses],” Zamparini reminded Rai Radio.
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini describes Juventus’ Paulo Dybala as “a young Lionel Messi” and says he’s worth €100m.

“I sold him for €32m plus €8m [in bonuses],” Zamparini reminded Rai Radio.
“When I sold him for those numbers people talked about a scandal. Now people say that [Juventus general manager Giuseppe] Marotta is a phenomenon!
“What is he worth? €100m: Dybala is the young Messi.”
Zamparini has been ordered to pay €15m as part of Dybala’s transfer from Instituto, but has no intention of coughing-up.
“I think these South American agents should be in jail. FIFA already outlawed these types of contracts, you can’t own the rights to a human person!”
