Reports: Juventus to restart contract talks with Paulo Dybala’s agent this weekend

After what looks like a whole 12 months of ready for one thing to budge, there seems to be a lightweight on the finish of the tunnel relating to Paulo Dybala’s contract extension. Or, on the very least, some motion towards stated mild on the finish of the tunnel.

Dybala’s agent, Jorge Antun, is out of quarantine and is prepared for contract talks with Juventus. The day these talks will restart after months of nothing however silence will probably be Saturday, in keeping with a number of studies out of the Italian press, together with Goal Italia’s Romeo Agresti and Giovanni Albanese of La Gazzetta dello Sport. These talks, which we’ve all been awaiting for months because the final time we heard Juventus tabled a suggestion, would be the first step in making an attempt to maintain Dybala in Turin for the foreseeable future — which is a giant a part of what Max Allegri desires to see occur as his second stint at Juventus begins.

A gathering. FINALLY A MEETING.

However I really feel like quoting my cohort right here at BWRAO, Sergio Romero, once I say this: “It couldn’t have been achieved over Zoom or one thing?”

Both approach, Juventus and Antun are going to fulfill. They’re going to take a seat on the identical desk — hopefully with correct distancing as a result of that Delta variant ain’t no joke — and speak about Paulo Dybala remaining a Juventus participant. That’s good, and which means there’s curiosity from each side — with a heavy Allegri affect, I’m guessing — to proceed this journey for Juve’s No. 10.

Allegri is clearly the one driving the Dybala bus with the entire good issues he needed to say concerning the 27-year-old Argentinian throughout his re-introductory press conference last week. He has made Dybala the vice-captain, in addition to stated how good Dybala is feeling going right into a season that follows up a 2020-21 marketing campaign during which accidents and ineffectiveness had been a continuing theme.

So now we see what’s going to come out of this assembly and if that €10 million web a season provide remains to be one thing that Dybala’s camp will take into account not adequate to comply with phrases. Possibly the time aside will do them some good relating to the negotiations. Hopefully that’s the case seeing as we’ve been writing about this sure subject for greater than a 12 months now. One thing must give, so let’s simply hope some excellent news comes together with it.
