Juventus are in talks to extend the contract of influential midfielder Paulo Dybala<\/a>, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Serie A champions’ Football Managing Director Fabio Paratici has confirmed that discussions are underway, and has also claimed that Dybala wants to remain in Turin.<\/p>\n

Dybala is Their Main Creative Force<\/h3>\n

Paratici has told Sky in Italy<\/a> that the club are ‘in talks’ to extend Paulo Dybala’s contract.<\/p>\n

“He wants to stay and we want to keep him; he’s part of our future. We’ll continue the negotiations [in order] to find an agreement,” said the former Sampdoria scouting manager.<\/p>\n

Argentine international Dybala joined Juventus from Palermo in July 2015, and is under contract until June 2022. The 26-year-old has made 229 appearances so far for the Italian giants, scoring 95 goals.<\/p>\n

Dybala, who can play anywhere across the midfield as well as in the forward positions, has developed into one of Serie A<\/a>‘s most potent attacking performers.<\/p>\n

Despite a disappointing 2019\/20 season<\/a> under former Chelsea<\/a> manager Maurizio Sarri, Dybala was still able to score 17 goals and provide a further 14 assists over the course of a campaign in which he formed an encouraging partnership with Portuguese great Cristiano Ronaldo<\/a>. Such a contribution saw him named as the club’s Player of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dybala Looking to Add to Domestic Success<\/h3>\n

Since making the move to Turin, Dybala has won the Serie A title with Juventus in each of the last five seasons. Additionally, he has won three domestic cups and two Italian Super Cups with the Old Lady.<\/p>\n

Under the management of legendary former midfielder Andrea Pirlo<\/a>, the club will be looking to maintain their dominance on domestic soil and push for a first European Cup triumph since 1996.<\/p>\n

Dybala is yet to make an appearance in the league this season, and is working his way back to full fitness from a thigh problem he suffered before the opening week of the 2020\/21 campaign.<\/p>\n
