Paulo Dybala has signed for Juventus, raising expectations of the Argentine forward in Italy and beyond.
The move is seen as a major coup for Juve, who have been searching for a new striker to partner Cristiano Ronaldo. Dybala, 27, has been one of Europe's top forwards in recent years, scoring 114 goals in 259 appearances for Palermo and Torino.
He joins a Juventus side that has struggled for form this season, with just two wins from their opening seven matches. But Dybala's arrival could provide a much-needed boost for the Italian giants.
Juventus president Andrea Agnelli said: "We are delighted to welcome Paulo to our family at Juventus. He is a player of great quality and experience, and we believe he can help us achieve our ambitions."
Dybala himself was thrilled to join his new club, saying: "I am very happy to be here. It's a big challenge, but I'm ready to take it on. I want to win trophies with Juventus and help them reach their potential."
The signing of Dybala will also be significant for Argentina, who will now have a high-profile player leading their team internationally. Dybala has won 16 caps for his country and scored four goals, but he has never played for the national team at a major tournament.
For Dybala, the move to Juventus represents a fresh start after a difficult time at Palermo. The former Napoli man struggled to find his feet at San Paolo, and his contract expired at the end of last season.
But he believes the move to Juventus is the right decision for him, and he is looking forward to working under coach Massimiliano Allegri. "I feel excited about this opportunity," he said. "It's a new challenge for me, but I'm sure it will bring success."
