Juventus director Arrivabene insists Dybala knows new contract timetable

Juventus director Maurizio Arrivabene insists new contract talks with Paulo Dybala are on track.

Dybala has intimated frustration over the way negotiations have been handled, with his deal to expire in June.

But Arrivabene said, “I said previously that we would talk about it in February.

"It's not just Dybala, there are also contracts to be discussed with (Juan) Cuadrado, (Mattia) Perin, European Champion (Federico) Bernardeschi and also (Mattia) De Sciglio. We already said there will be the time to talk to them all, including Dybala.

“I don't think anyone will come in and try to sign them as free agents. We have an excellent rapport with them, they are very close to Juventus and we will calmly do what's needed in February."

On Dybala's protest against the directors' box after scoring against Udinese, Arrivabene added: “Honestly, I saw a great Juventus move with an excellent (Moise) Kean assist after Arthur move and Dybala finish. I was told afterwards about this incident, but I am not going to comment on the reactions of players. I was too busy celebrating the goal."
