Dybala also spoke on Juventus’ new additions in Dani Alves and Miralem Pjanic from FC Barcelona and AS Roma respectively, and the 22-year old had high praises for his new teammates.

“I saw Alves playing many times because I always see the matches of Barcelona. ​​I remember he had a great affinity with Messi, it is a very technical player, he will help us a lot in defence and attack and I hope that he can give me many assists.”

“The signing of Pjanic surprised me. I immediately thought of his contribution in set pieces. He shoots very well and with him we can improve myself and Pogba.”
