Allegri plays down Bayern-Dybala link

Juventus head coach Max Allegri says he expects striker Paulo Dybala to regain his scoring touch, while pouring cold water on reports the Argentinean could leave for Bayern Munich.

Dybala had been linked with a EU100m move to the German club.

Speaking ahead of Juve's game today, Allegri stated that Dybala, who started on the bench for the team's crunch match against Inter Milan last week, will start against Bologna, and is expecting him to again find the back of the net.

"Paulo's an important player for us, he's had a great season and he has what it takes to become one of the best players in world football. However, it's up to him. Paulo's focussed and he wants to give a lot more to Juventus. I don't think he'll leave," said Allegri.

"Buffon will play in goal and will also play in the Coppa. Dybala and Higuain will play. I expect the goals we need for the Scudetto from them," said Allegri.

"In midfield, it'll be one of Marchisio and Bentancur. Cuadrado fullback? Certainly that's his future, but I still haven't decided about tomorrow.

"Bernardeschi still doesn't have 90 minutes in his legs, but his hunger and desire to win must be an example for everyone. He's grown a lot mentally.
