Paulo Dybala is on an outgoing contract with Juventus, and the parties have not yet agreed on an extension. As for midfielder Matthijs de Ligt, he has an agreement with the club until 2024, but his agent Mino Raiola has stated that he is “ready for the next step”.
The duo has thus been rumored from Juventus, and before a match, the club’s CEO Maurizio Arrivabene was asked about the situation around the players.
– Dybala is Juventus number 10 and de Ligt is an excellent defender. They have to do their job, we do ours. But it looks good, he says according to Football Italia.
That the players also have to do their job seems to be more than something Arrivabene throws at them. He goes on to say that all players must show on the pitch that they actually care about the club they represent.
– I’m used to speaking plain language. Nowadays, many players have more loyalty to their agent than they have to the club shirt. It’s very easy to talk about how much you care about the club colors, but you have to prove it on the pitch. And we want them to prove it, he says.
