Real Madrid Transfers: 10 Players Zidane Should Sign

9. Paolo Dybala

One of the breakout stars of the season so far has been Paolo Dybala. A player who, despite his young age, grew in importance at Palermo over the last two years looks to have quickly settled into his role at Juventus. Inevitably, being an exciting and pacy Argentinian who's prone to a mazy dribble and a flash of brilliance, the comparisons with a certain Lionel Messi have already been made. Juventus will be desperate to keep him at the Juventus Stadium for longer than a year, but the longer the bigger clubs wait to make their move, the more he's ultimately going to cost them. Zidane still, of course, has extremely close links with the club and the hierarchy might be more willing to listen to offers from a man who is still very warmly received whenever he returns to Turin. For the investment, Dybala doesn't offer anything near the finished product - he's certainly helping plug the hole left by Carlos Tevez, but is a long way off replacing him entirely - but his early form and 11 goals have hinted that he could be destined to be one of the most feared forwards in world football. Manchester United have, according to The Metro, been quoted £68m for his signature, so Zidane may have to move fast to bring him to Madrid.
