AC Milan have been rebuffed in their bid to snatch Paulo Dybala from under the noses of their Serie A rivals.

The Argentine forward, who has been heavily linked with both Inter and Juventus, is certain to move at the end of the season after a set of stunning displays for the Sicilian club.

Reports from Sportitalia have suggested that current Milan owner Silvio Berlusconi had made an audacious offer of €36 million for the player, along with a further €15 million to take team mate Franco Vazquez with him to the Rossoneri.

However, both deals have been rejected by Palermo patron Maurizio Zamparini and it now looks more certain than ever that Dybala will sign for Juve, who will look to conclude the transfer once the Champions League semi final with Real Madrid has been played.

The 21-year-old former Instituto striker has hit the net 13 times for the Rosaneri this term and has been the subject of rumours for much of the season.
