According to Italian newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport', Messi wants Argentine compatriot Dybala to be his new partner in the Barcelona front line.

However, the newspaper also reports that Juventus will reject any apporach for Dybala. The front page headline reads 'Wall around Dybala', suggesting the Serie A champions are ready to do whatever they can to keep hold of their star man.
Dybala has been a revelation since joining Juventus, scoring 42 goals in 94 games to help his side win the domestic league and cup double in both his seasons in Turin.
