Zamp: ’Corrupted’ Dybala to leave Palermo
By Football Italia staff
Palermo President Maurizio Zamparini says Paulo Dybala has been 'corrupted’ by agents, and is likely to leave.
The Argentinian striker has been in great form for the Rosanero this season, with 11 goals and six assists in 21 Serie A games.
The 21-year-old has consistently been linked with a move away, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund all linked.
Zamparini had previously slapped a €50m price-tag on his star man, but now admits he could leave for free due to unscrupulous agents advising him not to sign a new deal.
“I find myself in the same situation with Dybala as with [Edinson] Cavani and [Javier] Pastore,” the Palermo patron told Radio Kiss Kiss.
“This year he has exploded, but I already knew that he was very good.
“The lad is now in the hands of some people who don’t wish him well. It’s difficult to see him staying at Palermo, maybe someone wants to take him away later, on a free transfer.
“This is the foolishness of FIFA, football is now in the hands of certain characters like agents and others who just want to make money.
“I don’t talk to him anymore, he has completely changed. There are people who are trying to involve him in strange situations.
“He’s a great lad, who has been corrupted by bad advice. Now he’s advised by people who only see him as money making tool and nothing else.”
