Dybala needs to leave Juventus to fulfil potential, states Alves

 

Dani Alves feels teammate Paulo Dybala needs to leave Juventus in order to realise his immense potential. 

 

The Argentine played a vital role for the Old Lady as they secured the Supercoppa Italiana, Coppa Italia and the Scudetto, not to mention a Champions League final place. 

 

Alves has played just a solitary season alongside Dybala following his free transfer from Barcelona, who have been heavily linked with a move for the forward, last summer. 

 

However, the experienced full-back has seen enough to suggest that his 23-year-old has the makings of a world class star, but that he needs to leave Juventus to live up to expectations.

"We have talked and I told him that one day he will have to leave to improve," Alves told Brazilian TV channel Esporte Interativo via the Independent. 

 

"He is a jewel that will blossom. We talked so many times about it and I said one day, I don't know when, that he will have to leave Juventus if he is to improve even more.” 

 

The Brazilian full-back’s comments are unlikely to have sat well with the Juventus hierarchy, particularly with the 34-year-old hoping to extend his stay in Turin.
