Barcelona gearing up for transfer assault on Juventus for star striker

Barcelona are preparing an ambitious bid to take Paulo Dybala away from Juventus just half a season after he signed for the Serie A champions.

The Catalan giants are four points clear at the top of La Liga and are aiming to strengthen their bid for the league title by adding to their squad, specifically targeting the forward department.

Having made a bid for Dybala when he was still at Palermo, ultimately losing out to the lure of Juventus, Barcelona are set to return to the player’s attention by submitting a fresh offer, report fichajes.com.

However, early valuations of the Argentine youngster place his asking price at as much as €60 million, still some way off the €94 million the Blaugrana paid Liverpool for fellow striker Luis Suarez’s services.

Dybala has netted five Serie A goals for the Bianconeri this season, putting in good performances despite a lacklustre start to the campaign.
