It seems that regardless of the fact that Paulo Dybala isn’t interested in talking to other clubs until he’s sat down to clarify his renewal situation with Juventus, Tottenham will still be brought up.
That was the case on Thursday, and is again on Friday, as TuttoMercatoWeb, in a long piece by Tommaso Maschio, look at the player’s situation.
It’s said that ‘the engines are heated’ at Juventus to get this done, with ‘an appointment’ scheduled at the end of the month between the Serie A side and the player’s representatives ‘to discuss the new contract on the agenda’.
Wanting to keep the Argentine until 2026, the Italians have put forward €7m/year fixed, with bonuses taking it up to €10m; a figure initially requested by the playmaker.
This is where ‘the problem’ lies, and the reason why ‘the negotiations are stalled’, with many other clubs ‘at the window’, including Spurs.
It’s no secret that Fabio Paratici is a big fan of the player, being the one to help bring him in from Palermo in 2015.
As for Antonio Conte, he never got the chance to work with Dybala, but that’s something he seems ready to remedy should he get the chance, which is why it isn’t surprising to see Tottenham mentioned in these articles.
Furthermore, the prospect of signing the player on a free transfer, albeit with high wages, is enticing, making this almost a no brainer if the forward doesn’t manager to reach an agreement with Juventus.
