While talking to CNN, Paulo Dybala opened up about his admiration for LaLiga giants Barcelona and his Argentina teammate - Lionel Messi. Dybala was quoted as saying, "The truth is that Barcelona is a huge team worldwide and with Messi there, even bigger. 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."

However, the Argentina international went on to add that right now his focus remains on Juventus as there is still so much left to play for this season. Dybala added, "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.” Paulo Dybala was one of the Juventus players who tested positive for coronavirus, along with Daniele Rugani and Blaise Matuidi but has now completely recovered.
