Juventus 'confident of new Paulo Dybala deal'

Juventus are reportedly confident of renewing Paulo Dybala's contract, with the 26-year-old approaching the final two years of his current deal at the club.

The forward's contract is set to run out in June 2022, and the Argentina international is waiting for the Serie A champions to initiate talks.

However, according to chief officer Fabio Paratici, Dybala will demand a pay rise in order to stay with the Old Lady.

The Juventus star is requesting a €12m-a-year (£11m) deal, with the two parties likely to reach an agreement in the near future.

Dybala has struggled for form since Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival, scoring just 23 goals in all competitions since the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
