Pablo Dybala admits he would like to play for Barcelona with Juventus yet to offer contract extension

Juventus star Pablo Dybala has admitted that he would like play to for Barcelona, in a move which would see him link-up with Argentina team-mate Lionel Messi.

The 26-year-old came close to joining Tottenham in the summer of 2019, but has since restablished himself in Maurizio Sarri’s first-team and is a fans-favourite in Turin.

Dybala is contracted to Juventus until 2022, and while the Argentine insists he is happy at the club, he is waiting to receive an offer to extend his current deal.

"The truth is that Barcelona is huge team worldwide and with Messi there even bigger," he told CNN.

"It would be very nice, but Juventus is also an incredible club, very big, full of history, where there are currently great players.

"There's enough quality here to make two teams and the chance to play with [Gianluigi] Buffon and Cristiano Ronaldo, who make the club even bigger."

"For now there is nothing, really. I have a year and a half left on my contract, which is not much, and I understand that with all this that has happened [coronavirus] it isn't easy for the club, but other players have also renewed, so we are here waiting," he said.

"Obviously I am a player of this club and I am happy to be here. People love me very much and I love the people very much. I have great appreciation for the club and the people who are here, I have a good relationship with my president and surely at some point they will come to chat – or maybe not, I don't know

"At some point maybe there may be some possible renewal, but it depends on Juventus."
