Paulo Dybala is interested in a move to the Premier League or La Liga, although he insists he's happy in Italy.
The Argentina international, 28, will become a free agent later this month when his Juventus deal expires. The Turin club have informed Dybala his contract will not be renewed, leaving the likes of Arsenal, Roma, Tottenham and Inter Milan on red alert.
Dybala boasts a fine CV, despite his Juventus departure. He's scored 153 club goals and won nine major hours, including five Serie A titles. The 33-cap international was part of the Argentina squad that won the Finalissima at Wembley on Wednesday evening.
The Finalissima is a new competition that sees the Copa America winners take on the European Championship holders in a one-off game. Argentina defeated Italy 3-0 in the final, with Dybala - who missed their Copa America triumph - scoring the last goal.
"I am quite calm, the people who I work with are taking care," Dybala told ESPN before the game. "In Italy I am very comfortable. I would still like to know other leagues like Premier League, LaLiga... but I'm happy in Italy."
Although he released him, Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri still believes Dybala can excel at the top of European football. "Dybala has to go back to being himself," Allegri told DAZN in May, as quoted by GOAL.

"There was a moment when he got carried away by being the new [Lionel] Messi. You cannot copy or emulate someone else. Paulo has a lot to give to football, he has extraordinary technical qualities, but he has to go back to focusing on the latter."
Inter are thought to be leading the race for Dybala's signature. "Of course we’re hoping that Paulo Dybala can play for us," admitted the club's CEO Beppe Marotta last month.
But Roma legend Francesco Totti wants Dybala to join his beloved club... and has even offered him his famous No10 jersey. "I talked to him about some things," said Totti last month. "I think he knows how I feel, it’s not only up to him to decide on the future."
Totti wore the No10 at Roma for several years and is arguably the greatest player in the club's history, making 786 appearances. On Dybala taking his shirt, he added: "If he wanted to take it, yes, but as far as I know he doesn’t want it. I think he would take the No21."
Dybala said farewell to Juventus last month. "It is difficult to find the right words to greet you, there are so many years and so many emotions involved, all together... I thought we would be together even more years, but fate puts us on different paths," he tweeted.
"I will never forget everything you made me experience, every game, every goal. With you I grew up, I learned, I lived and I dreamed."
