But Allegri might be making a big change next season. Juve vice-president Pavel Nedved recently confirmed that Dybala will feature alongside CR7 in Juve’s attack next season. “Allegri loves to play Dybala and Ronaldo together.” Given the sparse number of opportunities for him, Dybala had a season to forget and rumors of his departure became rampant because of an expiring contract.
