Argentina phenom Paulo Dybala has
extended his contract with Juventus until 2022, the Turin giants
announced Thursday.
"This extension has been some time coming but it comes at the
right time: we are on top form, I hope to entertain and win many
trophies together," said Dybala in a six-minute video on
Juventus.com.
"Many positive things have happened this week, so many joys
all together. They are days of strong emotions, special".
The 23-year-old striker, nicknamed 'La Joya' (The Jewel),
joined Juve from Palermo in 2015 and has scored 39 goals in 82
appearances for the Bianconeri, including a stunning brace in
Tuesday's 3-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg tie
against Barcelona in Turin.
He has six Argentina caps.
The extension means Palermo will get a bonus of eight million
euros for the performance of Dybala, who had been expected to
sign a new contract for the last two months,
