Paulo Dybala 'wants £8.5m to stay at Juventus'

Paulo Dybala is reportedly ready to demand £8.5m per year to agree to a new contract at Juventus.

Despite beginning the season out of the team, Dybala has managed to make 17 starts and eight substitute outings in Serie A and the Champions League, scoring eight goals.

However, it appears that the Argentina international remains torn over whether to extend his stay at Turin past the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

According to reports in Spain, the 26-year-old is ready to inform the Italian giants that he will only pen fresh terms if he is provided with a pay rise.

As it stands, Juventus are yet to decide over whether to meet Dybala's request, aware that they could also benefit from cashing in on the attacker to strengthen their position with FFP.

Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid were linked with the player last summer.
