Juventus striker Paulo Dybala has insisted that he feels no pressure to justify his hefty price tag ahead of his debut season with the Italian champions.

The 21-year-old swapped Palermo for the Bianconeri this summer for an initial £22m - a fee which could rise to £28m if performance-related targets are met.

The Argentine joined Palermo for £8m from Instituto in 2012, but Dybala, who netted 13 times last season, says that living up to his billing has never been a problem for him.

"I think that since I have arrived in Italy, there's always some talk about my price tag and never about how I feel like an individual," he told reporters. "At Juventus it's happening again.

"At Palermo, it was the same when they paid that fee for me, but then I showed that this didn't put extra pressure on me and I'll try to show the same here."

Dybala signed a five-year contract with Juventus, who have won four successive Serie A titles.
