Cristiano Ronaldo has already dealt Arsenal a worrying blow in the race to sign Paulo Dybala ahead of the upcoming transfer window. The 28-year-old, who once shared the stage at Juventus with the Manchester United striker, announced his decision to part ways with the Italian giants via a heartfelt message on Twitter this week.
Before Christmas, Dybala had previously agreed a five-year extension with the Old Lady worth £6.8million-per-year, according to 90Min. Though months later, Juventus reportedly moved the goalposts and offered the forward a revised contract to which he rebuffed.
The Gunners have since been heavily linked with the Argentina international, whose impressive displays in Serie A has made him one of Europe's most coveted players. He, who's relished a vice-captaincy role at the club, has featured 291 times for Juventus, directly contributing towards 163 goals - he's also won five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia and three Supercoppa Italiana.
