Paulo Dybala unfazed by Juventus pressure

Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has insisted that he feels no pressure to justify his hefty price tag ahead of his debut season with the Italian champions.

The 21-year-old swapped Palermo for the Bianconeri this summer for an initial £22m - a fee which could rise to £28m if performance-related targets are met.

The Argentine joined Palermo for £8m from Instituto in 2012, but Dybala, who netted 13 times last season, says that living up to his billing has never been a problem for him.

"I think that since I have arrived in Italy, there's always some talk about my price tag and never about how I feel like an individual," he told reporters. "At Juventus it's happening again.

"At Palermo, it was the same when they paid that fee for me, but then I showed that this didn't put extra pressure on me and I'll try to show the same here."

Dybala signed a five-year contract with Juventus, who have won four successive Serie A titles.
