Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini says that he will not accept anything less than €40 million for in-demand striker Paulo Dybala, but added that he would charge Paris Saint-Germain €50m for a player he believes to be"the new Lionel Messi".
The Rosanero supremo has already confirmed that he will cash in on his most prized asset this summer, with Juventus, Inter, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United among those interested in the 21-year-old Argentine, who has netted 13 goals in 31 Serie A appearances so far this season.
PSG are also hoping to sign Dybala but Zamparini says he would demand more money from the Ligue 1 champions because the player is unsure about joining Laurent Blanc's star-studded line-up.
"I'm in contact with the player's agent and with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi," the Italian told Telefoot. "For PSG, he would be a good investment for the future.
"For me, he is the new Messi. Today, how much would you pay for Barcelona's Argentine? €200m? €300m? And even at that price, would he be sold?
"Messi is worth an entire team and Dybala is this kind of player.
"I want €40m for him but I asked Nasser for €50m. The boy's agent's have already travelled to Paris to talk to the club but Dybala has some doubts because there are already great players there."
