The lengthy contract negotiations between Juventus and their star forward Paulo Dybala might have a happy ending after all. While the two sides are yet to come to an agreement, the Seria A club is confident about getting the deal done after submitting a new and improved offer to Dybala earlier this week, according to media outlet Claciomercato.
Dybala is interested in staying in Turin but previously had issues with the wages Juve was offering him. He reportedly asked to get $14 million a year, the same annual salary center back Matthijs de Ligt gets, while the club came well below that.
Recently, Juventus increased their bid and are now offering Dybala around $11.7 million in salary while allowing him to boost his earnings through bonuses. Claciomercato reports that this will most likely get the job done and that the 27-year-old star will commit to staying at Allianz Stadium for the foreseeable future.
Juventus is highly motivated to get Paulo Dybala’s contract done as soon as possible, especially since he could start negotiating with other teams in January and leave the club in the summer for nothing. The Turin side also considers Dybala to be one of their key players for the future and expects him to have a big role in terms of goal scoring and assists after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer.
Dybala has been solid in 2021-22 so far, scoring two goals and dishing two assists. This, however, did not do much for the club early in Seria A campaign as they are currently at No. 12 with just one win from five matches.
