Paulo Dybala’s agent has reportedly touched down in Europe to lead talks over a new contract with Juventus amid interest from the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, discussions are reaching their apex between the Argentine superstar and the Serie A giants, with Dybala’s contract set to expire this summer and a new contract yet to be agreed between the striker and Juventus.

90min claim that Premier League interest is high in Dybala, with Arsenal and Tottenham keen in the former Palermo star along with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United, and another collapse in talks with Juventus could open the door for a move to England.

With the forward earning a reported £222,000-a-week, top clubs in the Premier League could offer Dybala a lucrative contract, especially with Juventus reportedly only willing to lower the attacker’s wage.

Indeed, the Bianconeri’s stance on their star striker could push Dybala out of the exit door more than tempt him to remain, and with forward’s agent now in Turin to conduct talks, Premier League clubs will be watching with intent.

Dybala contract episode will interest Arsenal and Tottenham

This summer is expected to be a free-for-all with numerous top names set to become free agents, with Dybala one of the headline players up for auction, and for Arsenal and Tottenham, the 28-year-old’s contract situation with Juventus will be crucial.

After all, the South American could be an incredible signing for either north London club, and Dybala failing to sign a new deal with Juventus opens the door for the world-class attacker to join the Premier League in his peak years.
