Paulo Dybala is ‘the new Messi’ says Palermo owner Maurizio Zamparini, who criticises Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri.
The Argentina international left the Rosanero to join the Old Lady last summer and has settled well in Turin, scoring five league goals so far this season.
However, Zamparini believes that Allegri isn’t giving the 21-year-old enough game time and that he ‘wants to take credit’ for the striker’s development.
“Dybala is world class, Allegri no,” Zamparini said to Sport Mediaset.

“Dybala is world class, Allegri no,” Zamparini said to Sport Mediaset.
“Dybala knows how to do everything, when I sold him to Juve I told Marotta: ‘look, you’ve signed the new Messi.’
“When Messi was very young at Barcelona he was always made to play. Always.
“Dybala plays intermittently, this is a kind of determination from Allegri that I don’t understand.
“Or at least: I understand why many Coaches do it like this, they want to take credit to say: look, he’s made the player develop.
“Iachini did it with Dybala as well, but I discovered and signed Dybala. He’s the new Messi, he can do it all, he’s world class.”
