Reports: A positive ending might be in sight for Paulo Dybala extension talks

Paulo Dybala’s contract extension standing may be very a lot a “I’ll consider it once I see it” type of scenario. No matter how the whole lot seems to be going proper now, issues have been so drawn out that you just don’t need to get too carried away till you see Dybala shaking the hand of Pavel Nedved and/or Federico Cherubini after formally signing on the dotted line.

However, in case you are one to consider a few of the extra dependable Italian reporters on the market, that day is getting nearer and nearer. Extraordinarily slowly and most positively certainly, however they’re getting there.

In keeping with Goal Italia’s Romeo Agresti and Fabiana Della Valle of La Gazzetta Dello Sport, extra talks from Dybala’s agent Jorge Antun and Juve’s entrance workplace have confirmed to be constructive. Agresti and Della Valle say that an settlement for a contract extension by way of 2025 is getting nearer and nearer — and, no, you’re not pondering to your self we’ve heard that before — with one other assembly set for both earlier than the top of the weekend or early subsequent week.

Sky Sport Italia reported Friday that the assembly between Antun and Juventus will happen earlier than Sunday’s recreation towards Sampdoria, with the 2 sides intent on attempting to shut talks as quickly as attainable.

Sure, it’s nonetheless assembly season although the transfer window is closed.

Conferences on conferences on conferences. Juventus doesn’t want Sassuolo for conferences to occur, so take that! (It’s onerous to consider after the summer season Juve simply had, however I digress.)

Seeing as this has actually been a contract extension negotiation that has spanned over a 12 months and a half, having some doubts that it would really occur is definitely an affordable line of pondering. We’ve been down this street earlier than, we thought it was going to be over as soon as journey restrictions have been going to be loosened up just a little bit after Italy’s lockdown final summer season, however everyone knows what occurred there.

However, as Agresti mentioned in his report late Thursday, “Briefly, the provide appears to be the proper one.” And in the case of ending the Dybala contract extension talks in comparatively quick order, that’s what you need to hear. Perhaps quickly we’ll get that handshake photograph — it definitely has been some time since we’ve been anticipating it to be on Juve’s web site.
