Following the collapse in renewal talks between Juventus and Paulo Dybala on Monday, the Serie A side appear resigned to the fate they will lose their star playmaker.
The Argentine has already been linked with a number of clubs in England and abroad, but the Turin side will also need to replace him, which is where Liverpool and one of their players come in.
That man is Mohamed Salah, whose contract with the Reds ends in 2023, and could end up being sold this summer in an attempt to monetise any departure, thus avoiding the exact scenario Juventus find themselves in with Dybala.
Gazzetta dello Sport have an article explaining that ‘Juve are changing their skin’, and their ‘market men asked for information’ about the Egypt international.
It’s made clear from the off that his situation ‘is among the most complex ones to investigate’, but the fact ‘the club has decided to go as far as enquire is quite significant’ when it comes to their plans going forward.
Regarding the Liverpool star, they point out ‘he wants to change the air but also improve his current wages’, which currently stand at around €12m/year post tax.
Juventus ‘do not deny themselves the possibility of bringing in a new top player to Turin’, helped by the now famous Growth Decree, that allows them to ‘benefit from a lower tax rate (25%) and therefore to be a little more competitive on the pre-tax offer’.
Still, ‘Salah to Juventus is quite a difficult operation, but never say never’.
