Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has revealed that he 'has a desire' to play with Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi.
Barcelona are believed to have had a representative in the crowd during Juve's Serie A clash against Roma on Sunday, where Dybala scored the only goal of the match to make it eight in his last 10 league appearances.
The Argentine has claimed that he was 'unaware' that he was being watched by the Spanish giants, but has further increased the speculation by insisting that he wants to play alongside Messi.
"To tell the truth, I did not know there were people of Barcelona in the stands," Dybala is quoted as saying by Sport. "It makes me happy that things are going well for me and the team and we are going to show that we are able to give more in the future."
Dybala was then asked whether he was looking forward to playing alongside Messi at international level, to which he replied: "No, I have a desire to play with Messi."
The 22-year-old joined Juve from Palermo in the summer transfer window and has netted 14 times in 29 appearances for the Italian champions.
