Paulo Dybala's inevitable move to Juventus continues every week to inch closer towards completion.

The Palermo attacker, 21, told Sky Sport Italia after his team's final home match of the season on Sunday that he will indeed be swapping the pink kits of the Sicilian side for the black and white of the Turin-based club.

"Juventus are the side who wanted me the most," the Argentine forward said, as translated by ESPN FC.

"They made a real effort to sign me and this is why I made my decision. I can certainly win the Scudetto there, as they are a winning team. I too always play to win and can find success with them.

"It will be impossible for me to forget everything I've experienced in three years at Palermo. I was happy from the very first day. I know that to play for Juve, I have to do much more and I'm sure I can improve a great deal."

Dybala, who has notched 13 goals in 35 matches this season, is expected to undergo a medical on Monday in order to complete a deal that will see the Italian champions pay between €30 and €40 million for his services.
