Juventus have signed forward Paulo Dybala from Palermo for an initial 32million euros ($36million).

The 21-year-old Argentinian has put pen to paper on a five-year contract with the Turin giants and becomes Juve's first summer signing.

A statement from Juventus read: "A fee of 32 million euros, payable over four years, has been agreed, with a potential extra eight million euros to be added on if certain performance-related targets are met."

Palermo were ready to cash in on Dybala after the Argentinian turned down a three-year contract extension in January with his current deal ending in June 2016.

Cordoba-born Dybala, who moved to Palermo in 2012 from home-town club Instituto, scored 13 goals and set up 10 more in 33 league appearances to help the Sicilian outfit preserve their Serie A status for next season.

Juve clinched their fourth straight Scudetto last month and take on Barcelona in the Champions League final in Berlin on Saturday.
