Palermo president on Paulo Dybala's future: 'At least 3 teams are really interested in him'

It's time for another installment of Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini's semi-regular update on Paulo Dybala.

On Wednesday, Zamparini insisted that the future of Dybala - who is quickly proving to be one of the promising Argentinian footballers on the planet - will be decided in the next two weeks.

The 22-year-old arrived at Palermo in 2012 from Instituto Atletico Central Cordoba, a club that currently features in Argentina's Primera B Nacional. With 13 goals and 10 assists in Serie A this season, he's reportedly attracted interest from top European clubs, including Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus.

"At least three teams are really interested in him," Zamparini told Italian newspaper Giornale di Sicilia, according to the Guardian. "The apple is ripe and we are ready to pick it.

"I think in 10, or a maximum of 15 days we will know his future. We will meet with the player and his agent to complete the deal. Those who understand football realize his potential."

Zamparini's claims should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as he's developed a reputation for his outlandish comments. He has continually stated that Dybala will rival the likes of Lionel Messi as the player's career progresses.
