Dybala waits for Roma as future was finalized as they prepare bid for his replacement with Man City Star
Federico Chiesa is looking increasingly unlikely to pen a new contract with Juventus, forcing them to set a price on the Roma target, reports detail.
The 26-year-old Italian winger has just 12 months left on his contract in the Piedmont capital and renewal talks with his agent Fali Ramadani have not progressed positively. Whilst he was hoping for a raise, Cristiano Giuntoli only offered a two-year extension with lower salary figures.
Chiesa cost Juventus around €55m total, €10m for the two-year loan and a further €45m payable over three financial years to Fiorentina. At this stage, the amortization leaves his costs at €15m on the balance sheet, giving Juventus something to think about ahead of the summer.
Page four of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Juventus would be willing to let Chiesa leave the club this summer for a fee as low as €25m, which would allow them to make €10m in capital gains on the winger, who has attracted attention from Roma and some Premier League clubs.
The Old Lady don’t want to start the 2024-25 season without resolving the issue, fearful of losing the 26-year-old on a free transfer next summer. He currently earns around €5m net per season and is keen for a loftier salary in his next contract, either in Turin or elsewhere.
Paulo Dybala is waiting to hear from Roma as endless transfer market rumours circulate around the Argentine star.
The 30-year-old forward has been one of the best players in the Giallorossi squad since his arrival on a free transfer two years ago, when he took a salary drop and put pen to paper on a three-year contract worth €4m net per season with no signing bonus, keen to join the club.
Dybala has continued to shine for Roma over the last 24 months and has attracted attention across Europe, with his €12m release clause giving interested parties a way to snap him up in the transfer market.
Page 10 of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Dybala is currently enjoying his holiday in Miami, preparing for his wedding at the end of next month. In the meantime, he’s waiting to hear from Roma, unbothered by the various transfer market rumours.
The 30-year-old’s salary will rise to €7.5m net per season plus €2m in add-ons, a high figure for the club. He’d be willing to sign a new contract, possibly up to three years, to help spread out these costs for amortisation purposes. He is keen to stay at the club and is now waiting to hear from their directors.
