Dybala came through the youth academy at Instituto in his native Argentina, rising to prominence at Palermo after moving to Italy in 2012.
The 22-year-old did enough to convince Sacchi of his quality during his first two seasons in Sicily, but Milan apparently ignored their illustrious ex-coach when he suggested they snap up the forward.
Dybala then left Palermo a year later for Juventus, where he has become a key figure, and Sacchi has stressed things could have gone differently had Milan listened to him.
"I am a keen admirer of Dybala," Sacchi told La Stampa.
"I am convinced he will become a great.
"If only someone at Milan would have listened to me when I tipped them about Paulo two years ago. He would not be playing at Juventus now."
