Dybala Is Ready To Leave Juventus, Zainolo Is A Strong Candidate For Replacement

JAKARTA - After Juventus confirmed that they would not renew their partnership with Paulo Dybala, the striker was confirmed to leave the club at the end of this season.

Dybala's departure has definitely left an empty space for the Old Lady.

Anticipating this situation, Juventus began a guerrilla search for a replacement for Dybala. There are many names on the Bianconeri's radar, but the one that stands out the most is Nicolo Zaniolo.

"According to tuttomercatoweb, Juventus chose (Nicolo) Zaniolo as the main candidate to replace (Paulo) Dybala," the report was quoted as saying by Football Italia, Wednesday, March 23.

To realize their intentions, Juventus are ready to approach the player's agent. This was done to make it easier for Zaniolo to recruit in the summer transfer market because currently, the player is still in AS Roma's costume.

Regarding the interest of Juventus who wanted to bring Zainolo, it was also driven by the situation of the player who was reluctant to renew cooperation with Roma. In fact, his contract at the Stadio Olimpico is still valid until June 2024, or more than two more years.

If the player firmly wants to leave the Capital City team, now is considered the most appropriate time for I Lupi to let the wonderkid go. Because, Zaniolo's current selling price is in the range of 40 million euros, or around IDR 630 billion.

Zaniolo is also a versatile player upfront. He is able to act as a winger, attacking midfielder, and second striker. However, this young Italian hero often languishes in the treatment room.
