MN: Dybala’s imminent Juventus exit a sign that Milan’s attitude is spreading

Paulo Dybala will leave Juventus on a free transfer at the end of the season and it certainly a nod towards how AC Milan have been dealing with contract negotiations, a report claims.

MilanNews writes how Dybala’s decision to leave Juve on a free transfer is only the latest case of players being totally conditioned by their agents, something that Milan are already familiar with given the exits of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Hakan Calhanoglu and Franck Kessie, who chose to sign more lucrative deals elsewhere.

There is no doubting that Dybala is one of the best and most influential players the Juventus squad, just as Lorenzo Insigne is for Napoli (he is their captain) but he has chosen Toronto, and even PSG are expected to lose Kylian Mbappe for free too.

The new wave within football is that some players and their agents are asking for stratospheric salaries and commissions, and over the last three or four years the market has changed to reflect this, so it is simply no longer a scandal if a team loses a big player for free if they are choosing to look after their accounts and believe they can replace him.
