Barcelona identify Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala as a potential replacement for Lionel Messi, according to a report.

Barcelona have reportedly identified Juventus forward Paulo Dybala as a potential replacement for Lionel Messi should the club's star player seek pastures new this summer.

Messi has allegedly already told new Barca boss Ronald Koeman that he could look to leave the Catalan giants ahead of the 2020-21 campaign due to his unhappiness in the current set-up.

There has also been speculation surrounding Dybala's future in recent weeks, with the attacker said to be frustrated with a lack of talks over a new and improved contract.

According to Tuttosport, Barca could move for the 26-year-old as a replacement for Messi, who is thought to be the subject of interest from Manchester City, Inter Milan and Chelsea.

Dybala, who has again recently been linked with Manchester United, scored 17 times and contributed 14 assists in 46 appearances for the Old Lady during the 2019-20 campaign.

Barca are also believed to be actively pursuing Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez as Luis Suarez could also be on his way out of the club before the transfer window closes.
