As of yesterday, it is definite that Juventus and Paulo Dybala will end their cooperation at the end of the season and that the Argentine will leave the Old Lady after seven years. As a free agent.Negotiations on a new contract have definitely broken down. Dybala asked for a longer and richer contract, Juventus offered him a shorter and a less lucrative one – it is rumored that in October there was a verbal agreement for 8.8 million USD fixed, with another two million on bonuses… The two sides have been away from reaching an agreement for months and yesterday’s meeting had put an end to it. By bringing Dušan Vlahović, Juventus decided on a different path and will build a team around the Serb without Dybala in their plans for the future. Injuries, poor form, lack of discipline, (maybe) unrealistic financial demands… Everything led to a ‘divorce’ between Juve and Dybala.All good things have to end – but we didn’t think Dybala’s Juventus career was one of themBut the fact that Juventus did not want to invest in Dybala in the state he is lately – does not mean that others will not. Snatching such a player without compensation will be quite bait for many powerful clubs. The Argentine is only 28 years old, his football talent and quality are undisputable, and maybe the change of environment will launch him into his former form when he was the best striker in Serie A and one of the best in Europe. Some clubs are closely following the outcome of the situation with Dybala and Juventus and are ready to jump in with an offer immediately.The most interested are Inter Milan and is no wonder since Nerazzurri director Beppe Marotta brought him to Juventus seven years ago. Marotta is known for his strategy of bringing players whose contracts just expired. He has already publicly admitted that such opportunities as Dybala are not to be missed. Manchester United, Liverpool, Barcelona, Atletico, Bayern also showed interest in the Gaucho – we will see who will not fold in this game and who will bet on ‘La Hoya’.Fri 18:00: (3.40) Dr Congo (2.85) Morocco (2.45)Dybala is just one of the attractive names that will shake up the football market with free transfers in the upcoming window. Last summer there were Messi, Donnarumma, Ramos, Alaba, Depay, Calhanoglu, Wijnaldum, Eric Garcia… And this summer the offer is as attractive. Maybe even more!After all, the number one world star Kylian Mbappe is among the free agents. He has so far rejected all offers from Paris Saint-Germain for the extension of his contract, it is believed that he made a deal with Real Madrid already, and his transfer to Santiago Bernabeu stadium is expected. PSG is still trying with indecent offers, but Mbappe is more interested in the sports perspective and the role of the first star in the biggest club in the world than whether he will earn 20, 30 or 50 million euros a year.Mbappe’s controversial compatriot Ousmane Dembele will also be free to choose a new environment. The young man brought to Barcelona as Neymar’s successor turned out to be a failure, and only recently Xavi revived his career and revealed part of his huge potential, which is why Barça brought him for huge money. He refused to extend the contract due to financial conditions, and he will move to a different club without compensation in the summer. Chelsea, Manchester United and PSG have so far been mentioned as the most serious options. We’ll see who wants to take a risk with the Frenchman. When he is healthy, focused and in shape, he is a hell of a player. But lately, he has rarely been in such condition…🚨 Barcelona have picked Raphinha as their No.1 option to replace Ousmane Dembélé in the summer.(Source: @sport) pic.twitter.com/FFwUvdSWG1— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) March 22, 2022 Theoretically, it is possible for someone to bring the Mbappe – Dybala – Dembele trio. But whoever that might be, they would have to set aside at least 55 million USD for the contract signing bonus, plus as much each season for salaries. In any case, it would be a great 110 million USD spent in one transfer window. After all, one Harry Maguire was paid 100 million USD.Among the attractive offensive players who will be free in the summer are Angel Di Maria, Luis Suarez, Alexandre Lacazette, Andrea Belotti, Federico Bernardeschi, Artem Dzyuba, Divock Origi… Even Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but he will probably continue with AC Milan.There are also several attractive midfielders whose contracts expire. First of all – Paul Pogba. Once the most expensive player in the history of the Premier League, he is far from what he used to be when he returned to Manchester United from Juventus as their main signing.Fri 20:00: (2.30) Cameroon (2.95) Algeria (3.60)He will not extend his contract with United because he did not live up to expectations and the money invested. But we will see who will rush and be bold enough to offer him the huge salary he now receives at Old Trafford. He will hardly get that kind of money again. There are rumors about returning to Juventus, moving to his native Paris… There are not many suitors that can pay for Pogba and his ‘luggage’ – Mino Raiola.The two Milan giants will probably be stripped of their ‘engines’ in the midfield. Franck Kessie has already decided to leave AC Milan – the Ivorian asked for an almost five times higher salary than he currently gets and also requested 11 million USD in commission for his manager. Paolo Maldini, as in the cases of Donnarumma and Calhanoglu, did not agree to managerial ‘blackmail’, he introduced strict rules of salary grades in the team, and the door is open for Kessie to leave. He will most probably move to Camp Nou – it is even speculated that a pre-agreement has been finalized. Tottenham and Arsenal also wanted him but the African was too expensive for them.Kessie’s ‘Si’ a Barca: The African gem salutes his new boss XaviInter Milan have not lost Marcelo Brozovic yet, but the club has not convinced him to stay. The importance of the Croat in the Nerazzurri game was best seen these days when he did not play – when the team was unrecognizable. He is of great importance for Inter and negotiations are still ongoing. The hurdle in the negotiations is a few million. The Croat first asked for 8.8 million USD a year, Inter offered 6.6 million USD. Maybe they meet halfway. Newcastle are already ready to pay him what he asks for.One of the most sought-after free agents among midfielders is the very talented Boubacar Kamara from Marseille, who is wanted by Roma, Arsenal, Atletico, Wolves, Leipzig… Attractive free targets will be Juan Cuadrado (Juventus), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Corentin Tolisso (Bayern Munich), Ivan Perišić and Matias Vecino (Inter Milan), Isco (Real Madrid), Sergi Roberto (Barcelona), Axel Witsel (Borussia Dortmund), Henrik Mkhitaryan (Roma), Florian Grillitsch (Hoffenheim),…Fri 20:00: (2.30) Mali (2.95) Tunisia (3.60)Defenders without a contract will not be lacking either. Ajax’s right back Noussair Mazraoui has long announced to the Dutch club that he will not stay in Amsterdam and that he is leaving the club as a free agent. Barcelona are offering him 5.5 million USD and he is the closest to an agreement with the Catalans, and AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund also wanted him. Cesar Azpilicueta’s contract also expires, although Chelsea have the option to extend his stay for another year. Among the right backs who are left without a contract are Serge Aurier (Villarreal), Mattia De Sciglio (Juventus), Djibril Sidibe (Monaco), Sime Vrsaljko (Atletico), Danilo Dambrosio (Inter Milan)…The biggest name among the left-backs who will become free is the now legendary Brazilian Marcelo from Real. Madrid will not offer him a new contract and he will most likely return to his homeland, where he is called by Fluminense. The most interesting left-back option who becomes ‘free’ is the occasional German national team player Marcel Halstenberg, who is leaving RB Leipzig.Fri 22:30: (2.75) Egypt (2.75) Senegal (3.00)The situation will be much more interesting with the central defenders, and Chelsea are in the focus of half of Europe. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen have their contracts expiring, Chelsea did not offer them adequate conditions and they are much closer to leaving than staying. Rudiger is said to have agreed with Juventus, and Christensen with Barcelona. However, Bayern, PSG, Real and some other clubs are still hoping to get one of the two players. German national team player Matthias Ginter from Borussia Monchengladbach, who is closest to Inter Milan, will also be a free acquisition. Then James Tarkowsky from Burnley, Jason Denayer from Lyon, Alessio Romagnoli from AC Milan who is close to Lazio, Luiz Felipe from Lazio, Congolese Chancel Mbemba from Porto, Niklas Stark from Hertha, Felipe from Atletico Madrid…And there are good goalkeepers who will be free to choose a new environment. The most famous name is Andre Onana from Ajax, but he has already agreed with Inter Milan. Among the others, it is worth mentioning David Ospina from Napoli, Sergio Asenjo from Villarreal, Mathias Perrin from Juventus, Thomas Strakosa from Lazio and Stefan Ortega from Arminia, who is close to signing for Bayern Munich.Fri 22:30: (2.75) Ghana (2.75) Nigeria (3.00)
