Yesterday, Dybala's agent announced the breakdown of the renewal negotiations after talks with Juve.
Juve CEO Ali Vabene said: "We will not renew Dybala's contract. The team's tactical core changed after the winter window operation in January, including the signing of Vlahović, and Dybala is no longer the core player of the team's future plans. We've made the decision (not to renew) after much deliberation, but I want to emphasize one thing: Juve management is not going to make decisions that jeopardize Juve. ”
For a time, the Argentine "little magic fairy" dominated the front page of Italy's major sports media.
At present, most of the authoritative bookmakers believe that Inter is the biggest hit of visa-free Dybala.
The odds for the Italian authorities, Inter got Dybala at 2.5 to 1, 4.0 ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid at 1.0. In Europe, Inter are also the biggest favourites, with odds ranging from 2.2 to 1 to 2.8.
Sport Milan pointed out that Inter is a favorite for visa-free Dybala, for three reasons.
First of all, Dybala did not want to leave Italy. This is a comprehensive life, home purchase, investment and other aspects of consideration.
In addition, among the top players in Serie A, Inter's hard power is one of the worst, and the demand for reinforcements is strong.
Third, Dybala's agent has a good relationship with Marotta, and the communication channels between the two sides are smooth.
However, yesterday, when Dybala's agent went to talk with Juve with great anticipation and prepared to bargain on the fat offer offered by the Zebra Army, he only received the "eviction order", which was a critical moment of great disappointment and resentment, and Inter did not choose to take the first shot.
Ball city expert Romano revealed the inside story: Last October, Juve and the Team of Dybala reached a verbal agreement, and the two sides renewed their contract until 2026, with an annual salary of 8 million fixed + 2 million floating. Later, Juve changed their team strategy because of Vlahović's joining, intending to renew Dybala's contract with a fixed 6 million + 4 million float, which broke the negotiations between the two sides.
The players' team was very angry and unhappy to the extreme.
Di Marzio pointed out: "Inter did not take important action on the issue of visa-free Dybala at the first time. After Dybala's decisive negotiations with Juve broke down, Marotta and Osilio did not immediately call Dybala's agent and say ' we're here, let's finish this signing'. Now Inter has decided not to take any decisive action for the time being. ”
As we all know, Inter has been "hooking up" with Dybala in the past few weeks, and rumors continue to circulate. This means "sabotage".
However, now that juve and Dybala's contract renewal negotiations have really broken down, Inter has not "taken advantage of the fire" for the first time, indicating that although the Nerazzurri has been "mixing" this matter, but when it comes to the end, there are still some concerns about visa-free Dybala.
What are the concerns? There are a few points.
First of all, Inter already has Lautaro and Correa. Whether Sanchez will leave the team at the end of the season has not yet been finalized. What the Nerazzurri need most is a big center that can turn Dzeko into a rotating center, and then get a second striker (shadow forward), which is technically controversial in itself.
Is it appropriate to bring in Dybala? To be evaluated.
In addition, Dybala's excessive salary demands have also made Inter feel difficult.
Juve gave 6 million + 4 million conditions, Dybala can not see, Inter want to waive him, at least have to prepare a fixed after-tax annual salary of about 7.5 million -8 million euros, plus floating large contract. Inter is not a big Paris, and to offer such a contract, it is necessary to have the consciousness of "one bites one's teeth and one stomp".
SkyTai pointed out that if Inter can defend their title this season and want to strive for a good result next season, then it is more likely that Dybala will be free of charge. If Inter failed to defend their title this season and aimed to "fight for four" next season, then the situation would be different.
So Inter may also wait and see, maybe in the short term the situation in the standings will change, after all, the next round is the Italian derby.
Also, Inter should keep a low profile even if they are interested in waiving players so as not to cause trouble for the dressing room.
The reason is obvious: if Inter really want to skip The Barra, the high salary will definitely play the absolute main force, which means that the existing thigh main force in the team will either leave the team or be relegated to the bench. This is bound to have a chain reaction, after all, players are also people, everyone cares about their jobs and future, there are winds and grass, they are more sensitive than anyone.
Even if Inter really want to do it, it is not suitable to push forward the negotiations with great fanfare, so as not to affect the results of the end-of-season sprint.
Inter's current title race is very unfavorable, but there is still a glimmer of hope. The team can't afford to run the risk of messing up in the dressing room. Little Inzaghi has just arrived and has no aura, and if there are too many hidden dangers, he may not be able to hold the field.
In summary, this is the key reason why Inter did not intervene in the Dybala deal with great fanfare in the first place.
Will Inter's attitude towards Dybala suddenly heat up because of some opportunity? What kind of assessments will Marotta, Zhang Kangyang and others make in these days? Look. It is foreseeable that the story of Inter and Dybala will continue to ferment and become the focus of attention. Stay tuned.
