Tottenham transfer target feeling more detached as contract meeting gets shelved
Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala is “more and more convinced” he is not wanted in Turin after a contract meeting between his representatives and the Serie A club was postponed, claims a report.
Dybala’s current contract expires in June 2022 and he has held talks over an extension. In fact in October it looked like the 28-year Argentina striker would pen an extension. Fabrizio Romano claimed a renewal until 2025 was close.
However, no deal has yet to emerge and there have been reports of Juve plotting a proposal worth less than their previous offer.
Calciomercato, via Sport Witness, claim the Bianconeri will propose a “lower offer” compared to the previous one.
That previous offer was reported to be €8m net, plus bonuses. But with the relationship between player and club “freezing” over the winter it looks likely that a lower offer will be doomed to failure.
The player’s agent Jorge Antun was scheduled to meet Juve officials on Thursday to talk over the player’s future.
However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, vial Football Italia, that meeting has been postponed.
Antun arrived in Turin from Argentina a few days ago, but was “surprised” to discover that Old Lady officials had no intention of speaking to him.
And Dybala is “more and more convinced” that Juve do not want to count on him. They report he is ready to seriously consider a transfer away from the club.
Instead Dybala’s agent and the representatives of the other five players with contracts up for renewal, including Federico Bernardeschi, will have to settle for meetings during the international break.

Paratici links with Dybala
Of course Tottenham tried to sign Dybala in the summer of 2019.
Financial problems scuppered the deal with issues surrounding his image rights leading to the deal being cancelled, as per Football.london.
But the arrival of Fabio Paratici at Spurs from Turin has fuelled talk of a renewed move for Dybala. The Tottenham director has worked on renewals for Dybala at Juve in the past. He is well connected with the representatives of the striker.
Spanish publication Sport reported last month the Premier League outfit have already spoken with him and have made the best approach of any side so far.
Competition for the 95-goal striker will be intense with no fee to pay. Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are all said to be monitoring the situation.
