Report: Paulo Dybala contract extension talks ‘proceeding very well’

Locking Paulo Dybala into a brand new contract has turn into one in all Juventus’ summer season priorities. This may come as a shock seeing as the 2 sides, Juve and Dybala’s agent, didn’t speak for therefore lengthy. However, with Max Allegri’s arrival again on the membership, the silence between Juventus and their No. 10’s illustration didn’t prolong into one other season after issues had been so quiet for therefore many months.

Jorge Antun is out of necessary quarantine and has already held one assembly with Juventus. On Wednesday, that second assembly came about, with Antun rolling as much as Continassa to carry talks with Juventus’ entrance workplace.

And by all accounts, it’s going relatively properly.

In line with Romeo Agresti of Purpose Italia, Juventus’ talks with Dybala’s agent, Jorge Antun, are “continuing very properly.” Now, we clearly don’t know simply how properly since we aren’t sitting there subsequent to Antun or Federico Cherubini and Maurizio Arrivabene — at a protected distance, after all, since that is nonetheless a pandemic — however the truth that there appears to be a basic sense popping out of those conferences {that a} deal will truly get executed is one thing we haven’t heard for months, if not over a yr when experiences early final summer season made us consider a deal was truly executed.

According to Sky Italia, Juventus has proposed a contract extension via 2025 with the choice for an additional season and and an annual wage of €8 million. (Which, as chances are you’ll keep in mind, is decrease than the €10 million determine we heard about again at first of the calendar yr.)

If solely Juventus and Sassuolo met with this sort of frequency to debate the deal for Manuel Locatelli, proper? Perhaps we’d have a deal by now. (Not that I’m getting impatient or anything like that.)

Together with Agresti, Sky additionally reported that Juventus and Antun will meet once more this weekend, which provides you an indication that issues progressing and {that a} deal may very properly occur within the comparatively fast future. (I personally love how Sky described the hour-long assembly: “It was a cordial appointment that may have a sequel.” That’s simply so Italian.)

Dybala — who returned to coaching earlier this weekend and needs to be out there for this weekend’s pleasant in opposition to Atalanta in Turin — is already one in all Juventus’ high earners with an annual wage of round €7.5 million a season. If this €8 million provide does find yourself being near what the 2 sides agree upon, it’s an indication that Dybala’s agent and the participant himself are prepared to work with Juventus to try to attain a deal greater than up to now.

Both approach, getting this enormous piece of the summer season agenda executed and out of the way in which could be an enormous increase to the beginning of the Allegri period. And, in flip, hopefully getting a brand new contract is the factor that will get Dybala again to taking part in like we all know he can.
