#2 Paulo Dybala (from Palermo)
Paulo Dybala first entered the frame in 2014, when he was scoring and creating goals for fun in Italy - for minnows Palermo. He had combined with Andrea Belotti to form a menacing strike duo, and people all around the globe were beginning to take note. Manchester City were one of the several clubs thought to be monitoring the Argentine closely.

To aid City's hopes of signing the mercurial talent, Dybala revealed his dream of wanting to play for either Barcelona or Manchester City.
"When I play with the Playstation, I always choose Barcelona or Manchester City. I dream to play one day with one of those clubs."
Fast forward to recent times, and Manchester City are still thought to be interested in him. The difference? Dybala is now a household name at Juventus and would cost the Mancunians about a hundred million more than he would have in 2015.
What happened in between is a funny story. City's director of football, Txiki Begiristain, was about to bid for (and secure) Dybala's signature - until manager Manuel Pellegrini raised his eyebrows at the move and suggested they go for a proven player in Wilfried Bony instead. Shambolic. Imagine how strong the side would've been had they nabbed Dybala.
