Juventus star man Paulo Dybala has extended his contract until 2022, just two days after his man-of-the-match performance in the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.
According to Sky Italia, the new 5-year deal will see the Argentine earn about £115,000 per week at the Juventus Stadium, making him the second highest-paid player in Serie A behind his team-mate Gonzalo Higuain.
Dybala's former club Palermo will also benefit from the new deal as they will receive 8m euros in 4 yearly instalments as part of their "development prize".
In a statement on his Twitter account, the 23-year-old said: "Together for a long time, always with this jersey."
The Bianconeri's official website branded his performances as "nothing short of spectacular", and said these are "days of excitement" for him.
"Less than 48 hours after the spectacular double against Barcelona, agreement has been reached thanks to the work of the managing director Giuseppe Marotta and the player's agent Pierpaolo Triulzi," the statement read.
Dybala joined Juventus from Palermo in June 2015 for an initial fee of £32 million - potentially rising to 36 million - making his Argentina debut soon after.
He has scored 16 goals in all competitions for the Old Lady this season, helping them establish a six-point gap with Roma in Serie A and bringing them to the brink of UCL semi-finals.
