Barcelona could reportedly make a move for Juventusstriker Paulo Dybala if Neymar leaves the club in the summer.

According to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague, Barca are concerned they may not be able to afford the renewal of Neymar's contract, as they have not yet secured a shirt sponsor for next season. The situation could see them forced to sell the Brazilian.
Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are both reportedly interested and would be prepared to meet Neymar's €184 million (£143.5 million) release clause, and Dybala, 22, is seen by Barca as a "ready-made replacement," per Marca.
Neymar, 24, has endured some poor form of late and was some way from his best in the recent defeat to Valencia, per Bleacher Report's Dean Jones:

Alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, he makes up arguably the best attacking trio in the world, and there is little doubt that Barca will do all they can to keep him at the Camp Nou.
However, if Neymar were to leave, there would be few better replacements than Dybala.
The Argentinian would not be a direct replacement for Neymar, as he is more of a central striker than the former Santos man who most often plays out wide.
However, in terms of his contribution in attack, Dybala is on his way to becoming as devastating as Neymar.

He has been prolific in the 2015-16 Serie A campaign, netting 16 times and providing eight assists in Juve's march toward a fifth consecutive Scudetto, per WhoScored.com.
The 22-year-old only moved to Juve from Palermo for €32 million (£24.9 million) last summer, but he has already established himself as one of the Old Lady's most important players.
He is only going to improve as he gains more experience, and he put in one of his best performances of the season on Wednesday in a key victory over Lazio, per Italian football writer Adam Digby (h/t StatsZone):

                  Alongside Messi and Suarez, he could likely be even more effective, but                                       Juventus will be loath to let him go if Barca do come knocking.

Dybala is one of the cornerstones of Juventus' future, and he signed a five-year deal upon his arrival last summer.
His value has only gone up this season, but if the Catalan giants do bring in €184 million for Neymar in the summer, they will be able to table an attractive offer for Dybala. 
In all likelihood, Neymar will remain at Barca in the summer, and they will not need to move for Dybala. But he would certainly be an ideal replacement for the Brazil captain should the La Liga giants be forced to sell
