Barcelona are preparing for life without Lionel Messi and have identified Paulo Dybala as their heir to his throne.
That's according to reports in Italy, which claim that the Spanish giants are keen for Juventus forward Dybala to replace his Argentine compatriot should Messi leave them this summer.
Tuttosport claim that both Dybala and Messi are unhappy at their respective clubs which could lead to talks between both teams.
Dybala is yet to agree terms with Juve over a new contract and was seemingly heading for the exit doors last summer amid Manchester United and Tottenham interest.
