Juventus transfer market, is Dybala leaving? The three possible scenarios

“We evaluate all market opportunities.” Pavel Nedved’s statements to Dazn have put the lid on the situation of Paulo Dybala, who has his contract expiring in 2022 and whose renewal negotiations have been stalled for some time, between Covid and the distance from the Joya field. At Juve that returns to the field today in Continassa, the Argentine hopes to join the teamwork from now on until the resumption of the championship on Easter Saturday against Toro. With his return for the last two months of the season, he plans to relive long-lost sensations, but an important piece of his destiny is also at stake in this championship final.

THE LOCATION OF THE JUVE

“He has a contract for one more year and I have nothing more to add to what director Paratici and president Agnelli have already said,” said the Juventus vice president. Where is Paratici’s statement on the renewal more than a month ago: “We talked about it, we are talking about it and we will continue to speak about it in the coming days and months.” And Agnelli’s is now three months ago: “In our head is the next captain. I understand that you received an offer that would make you one of the twenty highest paid players in Europe – it is an excellent starting point, a token of gratitude. Love for him is reciprocated. However, the best answer must always be given on the pitch: we want him to become one of the five best players in Europe. Now it is not and he knows it ”.

RETURN

–

Juve is still waiting for a response on the pitch, for obvious reasons of force majeure. The 15-20 days initially evaluated for recovery from the medial collateral ligament injury in the left knee has now become two and a half months, and the clinical recovery has stalled due to the pain Dybala continued to feel. “He is training only on the forehand without the ball, but in contact with the ball and in the changes of direction in the last period he still felt discomfort, it will be the last step before seeing him on the pitch again – Pirlo explained before the break. for the national teams. Now he will have a week or two to be with the team, looking forward to seeing him at the end of the break. “We are on point. Not for the first time.

FROM ALTITUDE TO DUST

–

The negotiation has gone on for so long that it has gone through opposite phases. The Argentine had the wind in his favor last season, with the award for the best player of the year in Serie A and the centrality found in Juve after last year of turmoil with Allegri. There are no figures, but the clues lead to a base of ten million a year, with the bonus variable. Meanwhile, Covid has demolished the market, along with business spending possibilities. Out of sight, out of mind: Physical issues haven’t helped Dybala keep his market value high, and this applies to both his job applications and his sale price. The closing of the image rights dispute with the previous prosecutor frees him to look to the future without having to deal with the past, but it has also removed what had been an obstacle to negotiations with those who had taken an interest in him. , especially in the Premier League.

RENEWAL YES OR NO

–

Three ways. The first: to renew the marriage vows and extend the contract with the mutual conviction of a future together. Realistically, to rekindle the flame (and not make bets in the dark) you have to wait for the return to the field. Opposite way: Dybala, not happy with the offers, chooses to expire, free to leave at no cost and then make an agreement with whoever he wants, leaving Juve with nothing in hand. In the dynamics of a negotiation, Nedved’s statement in which there is no talk of a future together but only of the market, can also sound like a response to the latter scenario. However, it must also be contextualized with the fact that, at this moment, Juve’s assessments of the future concern everyone, on and off the pitch.

THIRD WAY

–

The last path is in the middle: renew, with the possibility of saying goodbye. Figures, also motivated by the aforementioned drop in value, which do not make the Argentine prohibitive for those interested. But in the market, the treasure that Joya can win today is worth much less than a few months ago: a year and a half has passed, and an infinity of water under the bridges of Italian football, since the exchange between him seemed made with United and Lukaku. The only way to keep the price high on the balance sheet would be to build an exchange around it, modeled after Pjanic’s departure to Barcelona. Here comes Nedved’s voiceover: “We evaluate all market opportunities.” An exchange would be an opportunity. And while you wait, perhaps you will meet again and rediscover that you want to spend your life together again. It is still long and not at all clear.
