In his editorial for TMW, Tancredi Palmeri talked about the moment of Paulo Dybala and Juventus: “Among the many problems that Juventus has to solve, perhaps less stringent but more impressive is Dybala’s. After so much stamping to find space, played an unspeakable 15 minutes against Lazio, culminating in the last possession lost 20 seconds from the end and which propitiated the draw. Dybala is the beautiful illness of Juventus, he is the indispensable 10 who does what no one else does, however there is much more behind it and it is his contract that expires in 2022, and which he plans to extend only if he is granted the second highest salary in the pink. That is to go from the current € 7 million, to the 13 million that would to overtake de Ligt, holder of a superb salary of 12.5 million thanks to very easy bonuses. Juve does not even think about paying a similar salary to a player who will turn 27 in a week, who would have 2 9 in 2022, and which despite having been decisive in the past championship, nevertheless has never made that international leap that would justify economically binding one’s destiny, as is done with eyes closed with Cristiano Ronaldo. Paradoxically, 2022 (when the tranche of 40 million for the Church will start) is the turning point for Juve because it will also be the year expiring for Cristiano Ronaldo. Here too the renewal is unthinkable, too heavy for the company and perhaps too burdensome even for Cristiano. And the only way to return part of the investment would be to separate, very consensually but still separate, already in 2021. No company in the world could take on the CR7 contract, except in particular situations. And the only particular situation could arise at PSG: because Neymar is also expiring in 2022, he has a contract identical to Cristiano, and for now the renewal does not take place. The to and fro with Barcelona has been going on for two years, and who knows if the new Catalan president will not be able to please Messi despite the economic crisis. At that point Juve would hope for PSG’s grandeur counter-move on Cristiano, without excluding that Paratici will certainly offer Leonardo an equal exchange with the Brazilian – and on the fact that it is at least proposed, I am willing to bet personally. “
