Palermo's owner and chairman Maurizio Zamparini would be happy to offload Manchester United transfer target Paulo Dybala to Juventus.

The highly-rated Argentinian has scored 11 times and assisted six in Serie A this season, but his relationship with the Palermo chief has deteriorated.

It has been reported that Manchester United and Arsenal both watched him over the weekend - and the player's agent is trying to engineer a move away from the club for him.

Zamparini has admitted that Serie A leaders Juventus have been in touch with him about the youngster's availability.

And he would be prepared to sell to them, as he would like to see Dybala stay in Italy.

"There has not been any contact with Napoli but it is true that Marotta has been in touch for Juventus," he told Tuttosport.

"He told me that Juventus will be right there if we decide to sell Dybala. They are very much interested in signing him and are ready to open talks.

"I told him that I would be more than happy to sell Paulo to Juventus if possible. I would actually prefer for him to stay in Italy.

"I know Marotta, though, so I immediately made it clear that I will not give him a discount. We all know what happened with Pastore."

Zamparini, however, is likely to command a big price for his services.

The Palermo boss demanded - and received - £38million for the sale of Javier Pastore to Paris Saint-Germain.
