Paulo Dybala has been linked with a summer move to Juventus as AS Roma struggles to agree a new contract with him, but questions remain over how accurate those rumours are.
Dybala was in tears when he was forced to leave Juventus in 2022 after the club decided not to extend his contract, and he has been at Roma since then.
He remains one of the leading players at the club and helped them qualify for the Champions League last season, which has made Roma keen to keep him in their squad.
The attacker remains in excellent form and physical condition, and he could still be a valuable option for Luciano Spalletti if the manager were to add him to his squad this summer.
Juventus stance on a possible return
However, as the rumours continue to circulate, Tuttojuve reports that Juventus are not actively in talks to sign the attacker this summer and are not planning to bring him back to Turin.
The club are instead focused on other transfer targets, and a move for Dybala is not currently part of their plans, meaning the speculation is considered wide of the mark for now.
Juventus remain focused on building a squad capable of competing for trophies while also maintaining a long-term strategy, which may be one reason they are not considering a reunion at this stage.
Roma situation and future uncertainty
Despite this, Dybala remains an important figure for Roma, who are keen to resolve his contract situation and retain him beyond the current period.
It remains to be seen whether the situation changes in the coming weeks, but for now Juventus are not pursuing a return for the forward and are prioritising other areas of the squad.
Any future development would depend on changes in both Roma’s contract negotiations and Juventus’ transfer priorities, but at present there is no active move underway.
