5 important things that Juventus must do next season

#5 At all costs, Dybala must not leave the club

La Jo can be the key to ending Juve's UCL hoodoo, the club must keep him at all costs

The legend of the number 10 at Juventus is one that never seems to fade. At various times in the club’s storied history, the jersey has been worn by some of the finest talents in world football.

This is the jersey that has been worn by such legends as Omar Sivori, Michel Platini, Roberto Baggio and Alessandro Del Piero.

The team’s current number 10 has shown that he has the ability, skills and the temperament to be as big an influence in the team’s successes as the past legends were.

La Joya (The Jewel) as Dybala is aptly nicknamed is truly the jewel in the Juventus crown (above the likes of even record signing Gonzalo Higuain) and it is crucial that the 24-year-old Argentinian stays at the Allianz Stadium for as long as possible.

His passing, dribbling, finishing, set-piece ability, and intelligence are hallmarks of the greatest Argentine players to have worn the number 10 shirt (Diego Maradona & Lionel Messi) and given how successful Napoli & FC Barcelona have been when they built their teams around these two geniuses, Juventus must do the same with Dybala.

This means resisting any attempt by any of Europe’s moneybags to get the Argentine international and while such a deal would definitely be rewarding in terms of finances (the club stands to make up to 7 times its original investment of €32 million), it would signal that the Old Lady are now a selling club and are no longer interested in competing for the top prizes in football.

FC Barcelona and the Manchester clubs; City & United have been mentioned as interested suitors for Dybala and they all can certainly afford whatever it is that Juve may demand.

If Juventus want to be taken seriously, Dybala’s continued stay at the club is essential and made the focal point of the team as he has the qualities needed to become a Bianconeri legend.
