There has been a lot of interest in Juventus forward Paulo Dybala in the past 18 months, but the Argentinian has made it clear that he is waiting for a move to Real Madrid.
The 23-year-old has rejected a lot of clubs as he waits for Los Blancos to make a move, and Barcelona, backed up by Lionel Messi, are the latest club to express an interest in his services.
Real Madrid's head coach Zinedine Zidane has made it clear that he wants Dybala, and he even has first-hand reports of the performances and every day work that the Argentine has been putting in - with all of it coming back positive.
He does not feel pressure either as he demonstrated in his first year in Turin, scoring 19 goals in Serie A as Juventus won their fifth straight title.
The Old Lady are keen to keep hold of their star and they are aware that the five-year deal that he signed in the summer of 2015 may not be enough to keep hold of the former Palermo man.
As such, the sports director of Juventus, Beppe Marotta, has made it his priority to renew Dybala's contract, with the club set to offer a one-year extension with a hefty wage increase.
They will look to meet the agent of Dybala in mid-January, Pierpaolo Triulzi, although some media outlets claim that is it Gustavo Mascardi who represents the Argentinian.
At present, former Real Madrid forward Gonzalo Higuain is currently the team's highest earner at the Italian champions on seven million euros per year, and Juventus will offer Dybala a similar deal in an attempt to keep hold of their talisman.
Following the sale of Paul Pogba to Manchester United in the 2016 summer transfer window, there is no financial need for the Old Lady to sell their prized assets, but everything will depend on the decision of Dybala.
Real Madrid are aware of Dybala's desire to play at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu and they believe that he has the potential to be the new 'galactico' signing.
The Spaniards will remain patient while contract negotiations get underway, but the truth is that many at Real Madrid want to see Dybala wearing the white kit of Los Blancos.
