Paulo Dybala’s agent ‘will meet with Juventus in the next few days to discuss a new contract’

Juventus are reportedly set to re-open talks with Paulo Dybala’s representatives over a new contract for the Argentine striker.

Dybala’s current deal in Turin runs out at the end of the season and he has already turned down a renewal offer from the Serie A club.

Juve are very keen to keep the 28-year-old as he is their vice-captain and has scored 12 goals in all competitions so far this season.

According to Calciomercato, Dybala’s agent Jorge Antun will travel to Turin ‘in a matter of days’ for a ‘key meeting’ with Juventus’s management.

The report adds that the striker is open to discussing a new contract despite not being happy with how the club have handled the situation, including in the media.

Juventus’s new proposal will reportedly see a cut in agent commissions and a slight alteration to the £6.6million-a-year salary plus £1.65m in add-ons that Dybala was previously offered.

Past reports have suggested that the Argentinian was demanding around £8.2million-a-year in order to become the highest paid player at the club ahead of Matthijs de Ligt, who is currently on around £6.6million-a-year.

For Dybala to get anywhere close to this figure, it appears that Antun will have to waive a large portion of the commission he currently receives.

Dybala is a five-time Serie A winner with Juventus, having scored a total of 112 goals in 281 games since joining from Palermo in 2015.

His future has often been subject to intense scrutiny, with Manchester United and Tottenham both coming close to signing him in previous years.
