According to Football Italia, the club have lost patience with Paulo Dybala's indecisiveness and do not want to progress with talks.

Juventus reportedly offered that Argentine a contract worth €10 million-a-year, but the forward was holding out for €15 million.

Juventus will reportedly have to pay €15 million if they are to sign Genoa striker Eldor Shomurodov in the summer.

According to Calciomercato, the transfer value of the Uzbek has doubled this season and the Bianconeri will have to shell out €15 million if they want to sign him in the summer.

With Alvaro Morata and Paulo Dybala's futures at the club in doubt, Shomurodov is seen as a cheaper alternative to back up Cristiano Ronaldo next season.

Juventus are also interested in Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette and Marseille's Arkadiusz Milik, but the duo would cost significantly more than the Genoa hitman.
