The 23-year-old will reportedly get a pay rise to £6.5million-a-year which will see him equal the club's top earner, Gonzalo Higuain, who signed in the summer for £75million.

It would take a quite extraordinary bid for the Italian side to let him go, potentially more than the £89million Manchester United paid for midfielder Paul Pogba in the summer.

Dybala started his career at Argentinian side, Instituto, before joining Palermo. Since joining Juventus in the summer of 2015 for around £23million, Dybala has cored 29 goals in all competitions.

During the 2015-16 season, Dybala made his first appearance for the senior Argentina team, coming on as a sub against Paraguay in a World Cup qualifier.

Juventus are looking to make it six titles in a row as they sit top of Serie A, one point ahead of Roma with a game in hand.

The former Palermo striker, has caught the attention of Real Madrid and Barcelona in recent times and his Juve strike partner, Gonzalo Higuain, is impressed enough to compare him to Lionel Messi: "They are very similar,

"Messi is better and he shows this day-by-day, but Paulo is still young. He's only 23 so it all depends on him. He will have to show great mental strength."

Juve legend, Alessandro Del Piero was also full of praise for the Argentine: "His way of being, of imagining football, enables him to make the difference. He's already at a really high level and he can get even better."

Dybala, who was on the 2016 Ballon d'Or shortlist, has been tipped to win the prestigious award in the future.
