After the beginning of 2022, there has beena big question mark over the future of Paulo Dybala as he has entered thefinal months of his Juventuscontract. The Argentine forward is yet toagree a new deal with the Serie A side, and instead of the situation getting better over time, the relationshipbetween the two sides has only just deteriorated.

At the beginning of the season, the renewal of Dybala’s contract seemed like an easy task. Moreover, as a result ofthe player’s frequent injuries, Bianconeri’s hierarchy has opted tochange the proposal’s conditions, and thus, there has been no progress for several months.

A new round of talks is scheduled for next Monday when the two sides will make another attempt to meet halfway after the unexpected stall in the negotiations for thecontract renewal. However, the Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sportnow reports a quarrel that occurredbetween the 28-year-old and his manager,Massimiliano Allegri.
