It seems, however, the stance has softened, and the Serie A club are preparing to sell their prized asset to the highest bidder.
Zamparini has reportedly claimed that Premier League clubs Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in the 21-year-old.
Palermo have recored their Serie A status for next season (lying 10th in the league table), and Zamparini has instructed coach Giuseppe Lachini to rest the club’s top scorer for the remaining matches.
“I have asked Iachini not to play Dybala in these last few games,” Zamparini said, according to Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
