Arsenal, Juventus have made Dybala bids, says Palermo president

Juventus and Arsenal have approached Palermo about signing forward Paulo Dybala, says the Italian club's president, Maurizio Zamparini.

The Rosanero chief confirmed on Monday that he is willing to cash in on the Argentine, who has scored 12 goals in 27 appearances in Serie A this season.

Manchester United have previously tracked the 21-year-old but Zamparini claims that, if the youngster were to move to the Premier League, the Gunners would have the upper hand - but it would take a huge bid.

"Juventus and Arsenal have made offers for Dybala," he told Radio Marte.

"His agent will be in Italy on Friday. I want more than 40 million euros [$42.3m] for him.

"Dybala would rather stay in Italy but, from the English sides, Arsenal are his first choice because of how Wenger's team plays."

Zamparini had earlier confirmed interest in Dybala from Serie A rivals Napoli.
