‘It’s pointless to meet again’: what Juventus director told Dybala’s agent

Paulo Dybala

According to Il Corriere dello Sport and La Repubblica newspapers, Juventus director Federico Cherubini confirmed the decision to part ways with Paulo Dybala with a phone call with the striker’s agent: ‘It’s pointless to meet again, we won’t keep him.’

The Argentinean’s time in Turin will end in the summer after a seven-year spell at the club. Talks to extend his stay at the club led nowhere and Juventus didn’t even make a new proposal in the last meeting with the player’s representatives yesterday.

Jorge Antun and Carlos Novel met Juventus’ directors for two hours at Continassa yesterday. Andrea Agnelli didn’t attend the meeting and was seen leaving the club’s headquarters before the arrival of Dybala’s representatives. He returned to Continassa minutes after their exit.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport and La Repubblica, Juventus confirmed their decision to part ways with Dybala with a phone call after the meeting with Dybala’s agents. La Repubblica reports Cherubini told Antun: ‘It’s pointless to meet again, we won’t keep him.’

Maurizio Arrivabene spoke to Sky Sport Italia yesterday, confirming that Dybala is no longer part of the club’s plan for the future and that making a low contract offer would not have been respectful to the Argentinean star.
