Former Manchester United defender-turned-pundit Rio Ferdinand has hailed Juventus forward Paulo Dybala after his first-half brace helped Juventus defeat Barcelona 3-0 at the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday night in the Champions League quarter-final clash.

Chelsea have been linked with a move for the Argentine this summer with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte reportedly a huge admirer of the player.

Ferdinand revealed interested clubs like Chelsea will need to pay more for the Argentine because his price-tag has skyrocketed after his goals against Barcelona.

“It’s a great finish,” Ferdinand told BT Sport.

“There’s a lot of talk about people looking to invest him.

“Today his price-tag must be rocketing through the roof.”

Gary Lineker agreed and said: “I suspect there will be more talk now.”
