Juventus will meet with Paulo Dybala this month to discuss his contract renewal, and they’ve reportedly come up with a plan.
The 28-year-old Argentinian forward has been one of the Bianconeri’s more important players in recent years and this has not changed this season, with the player featuring whenever he is fit enough to do so. His current contract expires at the end of this season, but the club don’t want to end his time in Turin just yet.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Juventus will meet with Dybala’s entourage later this month, possibly after the board meeting scheduled between February 23 to 25, where they’ll discuss his contract renewal, with a new plan in mind. Whilst they’ve changed tactics, this does not affect their salary offer to the player.
Dybala reportedly agreed a new contract with Juventus back in October, on the basis of a four-year deal worth €8m net per season plus €2m in add-ons, but pen was never put to paper. The Bianconeri are willing to offer a similar proposal again, although the add-ons may be tinkered with a little, but they are expecting compromises regarding his agent Jorge Antun’s commission.
Juventus want Dybala’s entourage to give up on around €4-5m in commissions, wanting to direct their funds directly to the player instead of his agents. This links back to CEO Maurizio Arrivabene’s cryptic statement back in December, when he said: “Some players are more attached to the agents than to the shirt.”
