This is part of the content of Dybala’s lawyer’s hearing, which was contained in supplementary documents provided on Tuesday. “Juventus fell flat on a negotiated deal, signing was just a formality,” Ferrari claimed at one point. And not renewing with Juventus, according to what appears from an email obtained in the records, Dybala cost a total of 49 million and 497 thousand euros.
