Dybala revealed he rejected several offers from different clubs in the past, as he knew the Bianconeri would come calling.
The 26-year-old joined Juventus in the summer of 2015 on a five-year deal for a fee around €32 million.
Dybala has risen to prominence, becoming one of the best footballers since his big move to Turin. The Argentine was on the verge of leaving Juventus last summer after a poor 2018/2019 season, but later decided to stay and fight for his position.
Speaking to the Serie A champions’ official website, Dybala recalled how he ended up joining Juventus.
“I remember that day as if it were yesterday,” he said.
“I was at home in Palermo with my mother and others. We were talking about what could happen, the team I could choose, there were already many clubs, coaches and others calling, but I wouldn’t close the door on anyone, nor say yes or no, because I felt that sooner or later the call would come from Juve.
“One day, after lunch, my agent called and said in an hour, you’ll receive a phone call from the Juventus director. I spoke to Fabio (Paratici) and he told me that he’d do everything possible to ensure that I joined Juventus.
“After I put the phone down, I ran over to my Mum, I hugged her and said I didn’t want to go anywhere else.”
Dybala has played over 200 games scoring 91 goals and providing 36 assists for the Turin-based club.
