Market, Juve between Dybala and Raspadori

The lord of the Lady and the boy who is applying to become his heir met for the first time at the Stadium and that day Giacomo Raspadori will hardly forget him. “Dybala was a true gentleman with me – said the Sassuolo striker in an interview -. It was one of the first times I went to the bench and I wanted his 10 at all costs, so while everyone was saying goodbye, I headed over towards Paulo and a little embarrassed, I said to him: ‘Sorry if I disturb you, could I have your shirt?’. He smiled and replied ‘Sure, but will you give me yours?’. I was Mr. Nobody, I took off my jacket and all and I gave it to him.I was the happiest boy in the world, but he seemed satisfied too.

Who knows where he put that jersey … “. Tonight, when they meet again at the Stadium for Juventus-Sassuolo, quarter-finals of the Italian Cup in a single match, he can try to ask Joya and maybe even deepen the discussion on his future, because what the current number ten will do could also have repercussions on the career of the neroverde 18. Dybala is the Juventus player today and until recently he was convinced that it would also be tomorrow, because he was certain that his contract would be renewed Now that everything is back in discussion, in the event of a sensational farewell the baton could pass into the hands of the young rampant whose shirt he already has in the drawer.

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

–

Tonight the roles could be reversed with respect to that first meeting: Raspadori will be the starter, barring surprises, because as Scamacca is disqualified in the league, Dybala could start on the bench, partly because there is the risk of extra time (“The match could last 120 ‘- Massimiliano Allegri warned – and all 5 changes will be important ») partly because on Sunday Madama will face Atalanta, a crucial point for fourth place.

THE PUSH OF ALLEGRI

–

Max needs Paulo, he has reiterated it to him also in recent days, because he considers him complementary to Vlahovic and is convinced that with the new signing next to him he can reach 20 goals (now he is 11 seasonal). Allegri hopes to be able to count on him again next year, when Juventus will return to the starting line to return to fight for a championship now considered impossible (“Dreaming is fine – reiterated the coach – but I prefer to be practical: the first three are out of our reach, we have to make the race against Atalanta “) but he knows that everything will depend on what happens when Jorge Antun and the Juventus managers meet again. The story is known, before Christmas Juve and the player’s agent met at the end of February, after the Juventus board of directors, to sign an agreement already made for 8 million plus 2 bonuses until 2026.

APPOINTMENT AND WAITING

–

In the meantime, Vlahovic has arrived and the club evaluates the possibility of renegotiating the agreement, starting from a lower fixed base, around 7 (what the Serbian takes and what Dybala already earns: 7.3 bonuses included). The club could summon the agent in the next ten days to resume negotiations. Antun is currently in Argentina and has no flights booked to Italy. Juve have not yet made themselves heard and he will not move before receiving a call from Turin. Dybala has learned from the newspapers about the possible change of course of the company on its renewal (Paulo expires in June 2022 and could already agree with others). He is waiting for Juve to have clarifications and if the proposal changes in terms of numbers and duration, he will take time to evaluate and decide. Inter are at the window, as are others (like Manchester City and Tottenham): for Joya Torino it has always been the priority and will not deal with others without first having spoken with the management.

THE HEIR

–

If there is no renewal, Madama will have to look around and Raspadori is a strong candidate. Giacomo, also appreciated by coach Mancini, has 7 goals in Serie A, like Dybala, and in the Italian Cup he scored in the round of 16 against Cagliari. He scored at Juve in the 3-1 defeat at Mapei in 2020-21, when Dybala also rejoiced. Raspadori was served by Locatelli, who will meet again as an opponent tonight. He who knows if in a year they will still be against or on the same side.
