Juve reportedly eyeing Zaniolo to replace Dybala
With Paulo Dybala's departure from Juventus at the end of the season likely, Roma's Nicolo Zaniolo has been rumoured as his replacement.
TuttoMercato claims Juventus has set its sights on Nicolo Zaniolo as Dybala's replacement, with the Roma attacker unlikely to renew with the Giallorossi before his contract expires in 2024.
The first domino in this instance is Dybala, whose contract expires at the end of this season. Juventus have no intention of extending according to Fabrizio Romano. Romano claims the 28-year-old will not move another club in Serie A, opening up a move to long-time suitor Tottenham.
According to TuttoMercato, Juve has chosen Zaniolo as its replacement and would be ready to make a move in the upcoming transfer window. Whether they can manoeuvre to match his current market value of €40million remains to be seen, however.
