The future of Dybala seems perfectly clear

The young star Paulo Dybala soon will renew his contract with the Italian champions Juventus. That was said by the Executive Director of the Bianconeri, Giuseppe Marotta.
The two sides negotiated for several months, but there is not a new agreement yet. The interest of Barcelona and Real Madrid to the footballer breeds a bunch of speculation that Dybala wants to leave, but at Juventus, they are adamant that those rumours do not correspond to the truth. `The agents of Dybala are in Argentina. They will come here at the end of the month and will sign a new contract. There is no cause for concern.`, said the director of the Bianconeri.
About the future of the coach Max Allegri, whose name has been connected with Arsenal, Marotta said: `We have no problem with him. I don`t understand why you continue to ask me this question.`
The season for Juve is developing according to plan - the team is a leader in the Series and it is 7 points ahead of Roma, at the 1/8 finals in Champions League the team will play with Porto, and at the 1/2 finals for the Cup of Italy its rival will be Napoli.
