Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has insisted that Paulo Dybala is "a very important player" for the Italian champions and will not be leaving the club in this summer's transfer window.

Dybala, who has a contract at the Juventus Stadium until June 2022, continues to be strongly linked with a move to Manchester United.

The Argentina international only managed 10 goals for Juve during the 2018-19 campaign, with just five of those coming in 29 Serie A appearances.

However, Paratici has insisted that Juve "have great confidence" in the 25-year-old, whose brother and agent recently claimed that the attacker could look to leave the Old Lady in this summer's transfer window.

"He is one of our players, we have great confidence in him. The investment we made four years ago and the renewal of the contract is proof of this," Paratici told reporters. "Dybala is a Juventus player, a very important player for us."

The South American has found the back of the net on 78 occasions in 182 appearances for Juve since arriving from Palermo in the summer of 2015.
