Barcelona open transfer talks to sign Juventus star Paulo Dybala as Neymar replacement

Spanish newspaper Marca say talks are already underway to bring the Juventus star to the Nou Camp.

It’s claimed Barcelona have contacted Dybala’s representatives to discuss a possible deal with it looking increasingly likely that Neymar is heading for the exit door.

Juve would demand a huge transfer fee for the frontman, 23, who is considered one of the best on the planet.

But money is unlikely to be an issue with Barca valuing Neymar at £196million.

Barcelona still want to sign Marco Verratti but that deal is unlikely to go through as he is set to stay with PSG.

Gerard Pique yesterday admitted he did not know for sure whether Neymar will stay or go.

Pique posted a message on social media on Sunday which appeared to suggest the Brazil forward had committed his future to the Nou Camp.

Pique posted a picture of himself with Neymar, along with the simple message “se queda”, which translates as “he stays”.

However, speaking at a press conference last night, Pique acknowledged his opinion was not definitive.

The 30-year-old said: “My Instagram post was a gut thing. I want Neymar to stay. It’s my intuition.

“It was nothing official, it doesn’t depend on me. Only Neymar can say what will happen, but I hope he stays.

“I try to explain to Neymar, as a team-mate and a friend, the situation he’s in. I would say don’t go to a league which, with all due respect, is not as good.”

Barcelona are currently in the United States on a pre-season tour and Neymar is expected to face Manchester United in the early hours of Thursday morning.
