With a deal to 2026, Dybala has been linked with Galatasaray this month.
But Ranieri says: “He smiles and smiling is important.
“Those who arrive at the pitch with a smile, like Paulo does, make the job easier and fill the heart. I already liked Dybala when he was at Palermo.
“Paulo belongs to a superior football. Now, he plays a lot because he feels well, but he must be protected. I replace him when I see that he’s tired. He and Dovbyk made exceptional work in the derby, contributing to the victory.”
