Paulo Dybala isn’t impressed by the way Juventus are handling his future with the Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur-linked attacker increasingly unlikely to sign a new contract, as reported by Sport Mediaset.
Speaking last week, Juve’s vice-president Pavel Nedved made it clear Cristiano Ronaldo and Andrea Pirlo would be sticking around for 2021/22.
When asked about the future of the club’s Argentina international attacker, however, the legendary winger was far less convincing.
“He has one year left on his contract and I have nothing to add. Juventus will evaluate every opportunity in the market,” Nedved explained, via Football Italia.
Doubts about Dybala’s future have been swirling throughout an injury-hit campaign, one that has restricted the former Palermo wonderkid to just 11 Serie A appearances.
The 27-year-old was named Italian football’s player of the year only ten months ago. One year on, his trophy-laden Juventus career appears to be coming to an underwhelming conclusion.
Dybala is out of contract next summer.
And, according to Sport Mediaset, the £40 million-rated attacker is unlikely to extend his stay in Turin having been unimpressed by the lack of determination on Juventus’ part to tie him down for the long haul.
It’s no secret Juve have been hit hard by the ongoing covid crisis. Some have suggested Ronaldo may be pushed out the door as the reigning Scudetto holders look to reduce a crippling wage bill – but all signs suggest it’s Dybala who will be sacrificed instead.
The Daily Star reports the five-time Serie A champion has been offered to Tottenham and Chelsea, although the Premier League giants have concerns about Dybala’s injury record.
Sport, meanwhile, claims Arsenal have identified the 29-cap forward as a potential alternative to top target Martin Odegaard.
