Paulo Dybala was born on November 15th, 1993 in Laguna Larga, in Cordoba, Argentina. He was born to a middle-class family and has two siblings. His grandfather named Boleslaw Dybala was born in a small village in Poland. During World War 2, Boleslaw fled Poland and moved to Argentina.

Dybala's grandmother named Da Messa, was from Naples, Italy. His grandmother was from Italy and so he has Italian origin as well. Paulo oficially obtained his Italian citizenship on August of 2012.

Paulo started playing football at a very young age. His parents have always been supportive of his career. He was a very gifted <a href="/biography/paulo-dybala">player</a> and it started to show once he got the ball. He was very skilled <a href="/biography/paulo-dybala">player</a> for a player of his age.

He played in small leagues in school and colleges before going professional in 2010 at the age of 17 years old, when he started playing for the Argentinian club Primera B Nacional. He played for the club as a striker and scored 17 goals for the club in his first season. He was the youngest player to score a goal at the time, beating a then record of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kempes">Mario Kempes</a>. Paulo was also the first to play 38 consecutive games in a professional league, once again beating another <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kempes">Mario Kempes</a> record. Paulo had scored in 6 consecutive games, beating a old record of four games. He also scored 2 hat tricks in the season. All of this made him an unbelievable player for his age and people all over the world began to take notive of the new phenom nicknamed "La Joya". His performances started attracting interest from coaches all around Argentina and from the clubs in Europe as well.

In 2012 he was contacted by the Italian club Palermo. Dybala saw a chance to increase his skill and so he joined the club. He started with the club in 2012 scoring a brace in his fourth match for the club. His tactical play and skill set were very important for the club to stay in the top half of the league. At this point in time, the other European clubs were looking at him like scavengers as he was proving to be a very good player for his age. Paulo made his debut for Palermo in a Serie A match against Lazio. Paulo obtained his first two goals in Italy on November 11, 2012 when they beat the team Sampdoria at home 2 to 0.

It wasn't until 2014-2015 that Paulo had his breakout season. He scored 10 goals in the first half of the season alone. He also formed a very successful duo with fellow <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Vázquez">striker</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco_Vázquez">Franco Vazquez</a>, who is Argentine and Italian. Paulo finished the season with 13 goals and 10 assists. This made him one of the best assist providers in the league.

He was regarded as the new <a href="/biography/messi">Messi</a> as he is from the same country as the little magician. He stayed with the club for 3 years and in 2015 he signed for the Italian giants Juventus amid many transfer speculation that connected him to every major club in the world. His decision was influenced by the fact he wanted to stay in Italy and Juventus was the best club in Italy which made his mind very clear. He was also linked with Real Madrid who was ready to pay the club Palermo around $50 million for the service of the player but Dybala made his mind of staying in Italy and that's what he did.

He joined Juventus in 2015 and since then have been a very important player for the club. He was signed by the club for a reported fee of around $40 million. He has since then been a part of the Juventus team that went to the semifinals of the champions league in 2015. After the departure of <a href="/biography/paul-pogba">Pogba</a>, he was given the number 10 shirts previously won by <a href="/biography/paul-pogba">Pogba</a> but he decided to keep his number 21 jersey to himself and play with it.

Paulo's style of play is that he is known for being very quick and agile. He has amazing technical ability, and is very creative with the ball. Paulo is also known for his dribbling skills, and his ability to maintain control of the ball in limited spaces. His balance is unparalled as well. He also has an uncanny ability to beat his oponent to a ball, or protect it for his other team mates. He does this by keeping his back to the goal and holding up the ball. He is fantastic and making traps as well. Counter attacks become second nature to him as he relies on his speed with the ball, his superior positioning and ball handling skills to out manuever his opponent. He is also very good at beating offside traps when going for an attack.

Paulo has always been known for his stamina and defensive contribution off ball as well. He regularly creates chances for team mates to score as well as scoring goals for himself. Even though he has a small size, he can handle defenders quite easily because of his ability to anticipate what his opponent is going to do next, and use his excellent acceleration to counter it.

Due to his vision and ability to pass the ball, his ability to drop the ball deep and play off of other players and his very accurate striking from both inside and outside, you never know exactly how to counter him.

Another thing about Paulo is his ability to play at almost any offensive position. He mainly plays as a forward, but has been used as a main striker, center forward, or an attacking midfielder. Sometimes even used as an inverted winger or playmaker. His style of play has often times been compared to the great <a href="/biography/messi">Lionel Messi</a>.

He is currently playing in the Argentinian national team as well along with the likes of <a href="/biography/gonzalo-higuain">Higuain</a>, <a href="/biography/messi">Messi</a>, and <a href="/biography/sergio-aguero">Aguero</a>. There is a lot of transfer speculation that surrounds him as he is one of the best young prospects in the game. His salary is $180,000 per week and his net worth is around $27 million.
