The Argentine - who has been dubbed the 'new Sergio Arguero' - is destined to leave in the summer after he turned down a contract extension earlier this year.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly keen on a summer move for the 21-year-old, who has a price-tag of £28million.

However, the Premier League trio could miss out after Marotta entered Juve in the race for his services.

"Dybala is a very interesting youngster, who not only has attracted our attention but (that) of other teams too," he said.

"We are looking to see what is out there in order to form a strong attacking line."

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini admitted last week that there has already been an offer made for Dybala.

He said: "I already have a bid of £28.5m.

"A team should close the signing of Dybala in the next 15 days. He will not go for less than €40million euros [£28m]."
