Several Italian media quoted Juventus’s managing director, Maurizio Arrivabene, as saying that “with the arrival of (Serbian Dusan) Vlahovic (in January), his role is no longer central. It would have been better to take a decision not to renew his contract.”
Dybala, 28, joined Juventus in 2015 and was appointed deputy captain of the team at the beginning of the current season, but his numerous absences due to injury affected his performance in the “Old Lady” squad.
It is noteworthy that the Argentine star had received verbal approval from the “Bianconeri” management to renew his contract until the summer of 2026, with an annual salary estimated at ten million euros, before the Juve administration returned and retracted its offer, which the player did not like.
Several clubs are closely monitoring Dybala’s situation, including Inter, Manchester United and Barcelona.
