Palermo president believes Juventus star is worth €100 million

Published on: 26 January 2016

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has dubbed Paulo Dybala the next Lionel Messi and believes he is worth €100 million.

The Argentine departed for Juventus in the summer and his twelve goals have helped propel the Old Lady to within touching distance of Serie A leaders Napoli.

“I think he is worth €100 million, Dybala is the young Messi,” Zamparini asserted.

“I sold him for €32 million then there is a further eight in add ons, so that equals up to €40 million.

“And when I decided to sell him there was talk of scandal, now instead they say that [Giuseppe] Marotta is a legend.”

Zamparini also quashed rumours that a percentage of Dybala’s transfer fee was paid to a South American prosecutor.

“No, it’s bullshit,” Zamparini added.

“FIFA has already outlawed this type of deal, you can not legally own the rights of a player.”
