Overview
- Multiple outlets report that although Paulo Dybala’s contract technically expired on June 30, he has agreed to extend with Roma through 2028 and the club will announce the deal after its financial close.
- As part of the reported terms, Dybala accepted a large pay cut from about €8 million net per season to roughly €3 million, a reduction of around 60 percent.
- Negotiations were led by Roma sporting director Tony D’Amico and Dybala’s agent Carlos Novel, and sources say there are no outstanding disagreements between the parties.
- Boca Juniors pursued informal contacts led by Juan Román Riquelme, Leandro Paredes and Rodolfo Arruabarrena but did not make a confirmed formal offer, and a single report that Boca submitted a superior bid remains uncorroborated.
- Roma and coach Gian Piero Gasperini view Dybala as a useful player despite a season affected by injuries (reported 27 matches, three goals and seven to eight assists), and keeping him preserves his place in European competition while deferring any return to Argentina.
