PAPER TALK: Bonucci set to break Guardiola's heart; Juve prepare January assault for Darmian

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are set to offer new deals to Italian international defender Leonardo Bonucci and Argentine striker Paulo Dybala. Bonucci has been a target for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ever since his time on the bench at Bayern Munich and the bianconeri are anxious to tie the 29-year-old down to a new deal to ward off any more advances. It’s expected that the player who has been at the club since he was seven years old, will put pen to paper next week before an official announcement is made.
 
Dybala is a slightly different case; the 22-year-old front man currently earns €3 million per season but the recent arrival of Gonzalo Higuain, earning a salary of €7.5 million a year, has prompted the young Argentine to try to negotiate a substantially better deal in Turin. Barcelona and Real Madrid have made no secret of the fact of their admiration for the player.
