Paulo Dybala - the striker Florentino Perez wants to be signed at any cost. The Juventus striker has attracted interest from several clubs in recent times, and Perez does not want him to join any other club.

Reports in early January suggested that the striker has agreed a move to Bernabeu but will sign a new contract at Juventus, so that Madrid can activate his release clause. The striker is seen a replacement for Alvaro Morata, who has told his friends that he is moving to Chelsea in the summer.

The Argentine is not happy at Juventus this season as he's no longer their #1 choice. Gonzalo Higuain, the €90 million signing from Napoli in the summer, is preferred striker for Allegri and Dybala is looking for a move away.

Barcelona are also keen on signing Dybala and want Lionel Messi to persuade the Argentine to join them. However, the Juventus man does not want to move to the Catalan giants as he believes he won't be able to make it into the starting XI ahead of Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
