Dybala to sport No. 10 Juventus kit

Juventus kicks off its title defence with a trip to Genoa on Aug. 26, and for the first time since the 2015-16 campaign, someone will wear the famed No. 10 kit that's typically designated for an attacking midfielder.

The beneficiary of that decision is Argentine attacker Paulo Dybala, who will sport the number last worn by Paul Pogba prior to the midfielder's then-record move to Manchester United.

The Old Lady announced the news Wednesday with a statement on their official website, adding that the much-sought kit is deserving of a player who's bagged 30 goals across two seasons with the club after a €32-million move from Palermo.

Dybala, 23, was offered the "fantasista" shirt last summer but declined, according to calciomercato, preferring the No. 21 kit.

No pressure, Paulo, but the No. 10 strip has been worn by some of the best players to ply their trade at Juventus, with Pogba, Alessandro Del Piero, Carlos Tevez, Michel Platini, Omar Sivori, and Roberto Baggio among those to previously slip on the chemise.
