Five players who must choose between Real Madrid and Barcelona this summer

#1 Paulo Dybala

Dybala has to choose between Ronaldo and Messi

With regular comparisons to Lionel Messi, Paulo Dybala’s career has been under the microscope ever since he appeared on the world stage. His small frame mixed with his explosive pace, agility and powerful left foot has forced people to liken him to Messi and Maradona, but the truth is, the 23-year-old is a different player altogether.

The former Palermo striker offers much more than just dribbling; he’s exceptional at threading through balls, creating chances, taking free kicks and holding up play for others. Dybala is a well-rounded player that would suit most, if not all systems in the world.

In football, we all understand that there are tiers in terms of quality. At this moment in time, Barcelona and Real Madrid are on their own tier; they have the financial power and status to sign any player in the world. Juventus are on the tier below, making Dybala an accessible target.

The Argentinean has been talked up by both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in recent seasons, and it’s his choice as to who he’d rather play with.
