Nasser Al-Khelaifi Rules out PSG Move for Juventus Forward Paulo Dybala

Matt JonesJan 9, 2018

Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi has dismissed speculation linking his club with a move for Juventus forward Paulo Dybala. 

The Argentina international has established himself as one of the finest players in Serie A with the Bianconeri, blending goalscoring prowess, creativity and dynamism. As noted by Alex Richards of the Daily Mirror, there has been plenty of speculation over Dybala's future, with the likes of PSG and Manchester United linked with him.

Speaking with La Stampa (h/t Richards), Al-Khelaifi insisted there is no interest in Dybala from the Ligue 1 giants.

"The truth is there are a lot of good players in Serie A, not just Dybala," he said. "If we are interested in him, we'll call Juventus. [Juve president Andrea] Agnelli is a good friend, but I can tell you that Dybala, at the moment, is not key to PSG's future."

As noted by the UEFA Champions League Twitter account, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri believes Dybala can go on to become one of the world's best footballers:

When the 24-year-old is at his best, he's one of the most exciting players to watch in football, as he meshes many brilliant qualities together.

Dybala typically plays in the space behind lone striker Gonzalo Higuain. From there he can pick the ball up with space to burst into, thread passes into dangerous areas and take shots on himself. It makes him so difficult for opposition defenders to nullify.

This term Dybala has 14 goals and three assists in 19 Serie A appearances; as noted by Squawka Football, a fair number of those goals have been spectacular:

The former Palermo man's game is still occasionally inconsistent, but there's no denying the talent is there for him to be among the world's best.

At PSG it would be fascinating to see how Dybala would fare, especially alongside some of the best attacking players in the game. In practice, he would slot in behind Edinson Cavani, with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe flanking him.

PSG have a lot of attacking quality to call upon.

However, it appears that fantasy forward line is unlikely to materialize based on quotes from the PSG chief. After all, any successful deal for Dybala would be one of the most expensive in the history of football and manager Unai Emery would surely be keen to see other parts of his squad bolstered.

As we can see here courtesy of Goal, PSG don't have much need for Dyabala given their attacking play:

Dybala recently signed a new long-term deal at Juventus, despite the incessant speculation regarding his future. It would make it difficult for any potential suitor to prise him away from the Turin outfit.

The forward appears to be content with life in Serie A, as he's a crucial player in a team that's been the dominant force in Italy for a long time now.
