Paulo Dybala 'wants lifelong contract at Juventus'

Juventus attacker Paulo Dybala is reportedly keen to sign a lifelong deal with the Italian champions.

The Argentina international was strongly linked with a move away from the Old Lady last summer, having found it difficult to show his best form during the 2018-19 campaign.

Both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur were linked with the attacker, but he remained with the Turin giants and has been a key player for Maurizio Sarri's side this season.

The 26-year-old has scored 13 times and registered 12 assists in 34 appearances for Juve this term, including three goals and two assists in seven Champions League outings.

According to Tuttosport, Dybala wants to follow in the footsteps of club legend Alessandro Del Piero, who represented the Italian giants between 1993 and 2012, scoring 290 goals in 705 matches.

Dybala's current deal in Turin will expire in June 2022, but the report claims that discussions between the two parties over a new long-term contract have already taken place.

The attacker has recently returned to an individual training programme after overcoming coronavirus.
