Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked to the former Palermo star, though Pavel Nedved, the Bianconeri’s vice chairman, passing comment: “I confirm (sporting director Fabio) Paratici’s words, Dybala is our future. He is a very important player for us.”End of story? Well, perhaps, if Allegri is able to integrate Dybala and Ronaldo successfully in the coming weeks, but the focus on next week’s first leg of their Champions League last 16 clash vs Atletico Madrid has intensified: Will Allegri be comfortable including Dybala at the Wanda Metropolitano? The stakes are high, given the unfortunate draw against maybe the most similar opponent in the competition.Then there is the compelling transfer strategy devised by Paratici and co., with the first piece of the puzzle already confirmed with the arrival of Aaron Ramsey on a free from Arsenal.The Welsh midfielder’s arrival demonstrates an acknowledgement from the club to address what was once their strongest department: midfield. And while Juve remain a formidable side, their midfield is now clearly inferior to those previously that included Andrea Pirlo, Paul Pogba, Arturo Vidal and Claudio Marchisio.To allow Ramsey to flourish, and the intent is clearly there given the lavish outlay on wages, Allegri will remain complicates the prospect of Dybala to shine given the role of Ronaldo and Mario Mandzukic, Juan Cuadrado or somebody similar required to balance the side.Another layer to this developing story is the soap opera developing at Inter with Mauro Icardi and his wife, Wanda, failing to find common ground in contract negotiations.
