Honestly, that's more speculation than anything at this point. Of course he's got the potential for it, but plenty of players had.
I'd be very disappointed to see him become anything less than a WC forwards for sure, but right now it's looking more like Aguero ~2013 levels (absolute top player, but not quite among the very best) than Messi levels for me.
Which would still be brilliant.
I think WC forward is attainable. I think Ballon D'Or is wishful thinking.
Dybala has clear weaknesses that might hold him back from being something like a top 3 player. For instance, he is only dangerous in the middle and the right because he has to always cut in on his left.
Sometimes his first touch lets him down because in situations where the first touch is a 2 out of 10 difficulty for his right foot, he takes it instead with his left foot and it's much harder.
Also his short passing could improve. But again, it's influenced by him being one-footed IMO.
There are very few one-footed players that are consistent year after year, match after match. I mostly think of players like Di Maria and Robben who are fucking outstanding at so many aspects of the game but were never top 3 players (Robben perhaps close). It is logical after all, there are so many scenarios on the field where being two footed makes the game much easier.
Just look at Hernanes
