Juventus wants to give winger a new contract to avoid losing him

Juventus winger Paulo Dybala is entering the final 12 months of his contract with the Italian club and the club is interested in starting discussions with his agent over a new contract.

The agent of the Argentine forward Jorge Antun will meet with Juventus hierarchy before the end of this month to discuss so that the club won't lose him for free at the end of next season.

He has been at the club since 2015 after joining from Palermo and was close to leaving last season after falling the pecking order with club legend and manager Andrea Pirlo who limited him to few appearances.

Andrea Pirlo was sacked at the end of last season and replaced with former manager Massimiliano Allegri, a manager who Dybala knows well and signed him to Juventus in his first spell as manager.

Dybala, who was not selected as part of the Argentina squad that won the Copa America, scored his 100th goal for Juventus last season and has played over 200 times for the Old Lady.
