On Monday, Juventus said that it would not be renewing Paulo Dybala’s contract, which expires in the summer.
Dybala will leave the club at the end of the season. Juve CEO Maurizio Arrivabene put an end to months of speculation when he said that the club had not made an offer to Dybala’s representatives during a meeting in Turin earlier in the day, ending the speculation.
In October, Dybala and the club reached a verbal agreement to raise his basic salary to eight million euros ($9.1 million) a season, but the club changed their minds. Dybala had been waiting for talks about a contract extension. The club had changed their minds about the deal.

“In January, Dusan Vlahovic joined the team as a striker. This has changed the structure of the team’s football. Juventus’ project has changed, and one part of this change was Dybala’s contract, which was not renewed on Thursday. “It was Arrivabene’s job to tell the press.
Juventus had no reason to make a much lower offer for Paulo.
Media in Italy say that Dybala could move to Inter Milan, Juve’s biggest rival. Atletico Madrid is also said to be interested. Dybala is now a free agent.
Over the last two years, the 28-year-old has had a lot of injuries, and Arrivabene said that the club didn’t want to keep him because of that.
The Juventus manager said: “Paulo is no longer at the heart of the Juventus project, so we chose to make this choice.”
The quality of his work hasn’t been questioned, but there were questions about how many times he would appear and how long his contract would be.
When Dybala moved to Juventus in 2015, he moved from Palermo to Juventus. Since then, he has won five Serie A titles and four Italian Cups.
He also played in the team that lost in the Champions League final in 2017 to Real Madrid, but he also played in that team.
