Serie A Heavyweights Dealing with Thorny Extensions

Juventus, Inter, Roma, and Lazio need to step up in the talks with some of their top players whose contracts expire in 2025. It has become routine to sell them when they have a year left on their deals to prevent their price tags from plummeting and avoid losing them for nothing. That would have to happen next summer in these cases, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

The Bianconeri are in talks with Wojciech Szczesny and especially Federico Chiesa. They’d like to reduce the wages of the veteran goalie. Instead, the attacker asked for a raise. The parties could settle for a temporary solution, a one-year renewal. The ace is intrigued by potentially moving the Premier League down the line.

Inter are haggling with Denzel Dumfries. Their negotiation with him isn’t as advanced as for other players. They offered him €4M annually, but the Dutchman requested €1M more. The front office won’t repeat the same error they did with Milan Skriniar. They wish to come to terms before June or will put him on the market.

Paulo Dybala is keen on staying at Roma, but the parties will have to find a solution for his contract. The Giallorossi might act differently than the other sides and be more comfortable with getting closer to the expiry date. Mattia Zaccagni is in the same situation, and the conversations with Lazio haven’t really started.

Victor Osimhen’s deal also runs out in 2025, but the announcement for his new one should come fairly soon.
