Profession

In 2012, he joined Palermo in the Italian Serie B and quickly rose to fame with his outstanding performance, helping the team to be promoted to Serie A. Dybala’s outstanding performance at Palermo attracted the attention of top European clubs.
In 2015, Dybala moved to Italian giants Juventus. He immediately became a key player for the Turin-based side, winning five Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia titles over the next seven seasons.

Dybala reached new heights in the 2019-20 season, scoring 11 goals and providing 11 assists in the league, winning the Serie A Most Valuable Player award.

On the international stage, Dybala made his Argentina debut in 2015 and has been a regular for the team since then. He played for his country at the 2018 World Cup, the 2019 Copa America and most recently, was part of Argentina’s winning campaign at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
