Paulo Dybala drops hint he could join Lionel Messi at Barcelona after refusing to rule out switch away from Juventus
Forward has made a stunning start to the season with seven goals in just four games
JUVENTUS star Paulo Dybala dropped a huge hint he could be willing to join Lionel Messi at Barcelona - after failing to rule out an exit.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp all summer after Barca sold Neymar in a £198million world record move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Dybala insists he is happy at Juventus, where the star has made a stunning start to the season with seven goals in just four matches.
But Dybala left the door open when asked whether he would consider joining with international team-mate Lionel Messi at club level.
He said: "He's already my team-mate for Argentina but I'm really good at Juventus, although I don't know what's going to happen in the future.
"I'm very happy to wear an important shirt like the No 10.
"Nobody said anything to me [about a Barca bid]. The club never came to me to say there was an offer on the table.
"The only thing the club said to me is that they want me to be part of this project for a long time, and I'm happy about that.
"As long as the club and the president [Andrea Agnelli] want me at Juve, that's where I'll be."
Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri said over the weekend that Dybala has the talent to match Messi and rival Cristiano Ronaldo and win the Ballon d'Or in future.
Dybala said: "What the boss said is nice but they will still be playing for many years,"
"I will try to get to that level as soon as possible.
"I just think about working hard and improving all the time. I have great team-mates who help me a lot."
Last season's beaten finalists Juventus face a difficult opening clash in the Champions League, travelling to the Nou Camp to face Messi and Co.
