Despite the major renewal, Juventus is still not finding its way this season. The men from Turin are in fourth place, seven behind the leader Milan, and have just been eliminated in the round of the Champions League after being beaten at home by Villarreal of Spain. As if that were not enough, now the strong fight that would have been played by one of its main figures and the technical director came to light.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, during Friday's practice Paulo Dybala had a heated discussion with Massimiliano Allegri. La Joya played the role of reference in the face of the casualties of the Italians Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci and, accompanied by the Colombian Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, went to the DT's office to bring him a message from the costumes.

The South American footballers asked the bianconero strategist that the squad wanted to have “some more hour of freedom” in the run-up to this Sunday's engagement, starting at 11, against Salernitana, a team that is sunk in the last place of Calcio. However, according to the newspaper, the coach exploded with anger and aimed at the Cordoba: “You just ask me for something like that?” .

“Allegri didn't like it and the request generated a fight, with Max accusing Dybala,” said the media outlet. The coach was always close to the former Cordoba Institute, defended it publicly when it was criticized and even decided to name it as one of the captains of Juve.

It is worth noting that the Jewel is not going through its best moment in Vecchia Signora and its future in the club is a real unknown. The striker's contract ends in June this year and both parties are still far from finding a meeting point to renew. The footballer wants a higher salary, while the Italians offer an improvement - which does not reach the numbers that the Argentine wants - but by objectives. On Monday there would be a meeting between your representative and the leaders.

The native of Laguna Larga, who suffered several injuries throughout the season and was left out of the last list called up by Lionel Scaloni to wear the Argentine team's jersey, has played 28 matches, in which he scored 12 goals and provided 6 assists. Throughout his 7 years at Juventus, Paulo had 12 titles: five Serie A, four Italian Cup and three Italian Super Cup.
