Dybala Casts Doubt Over Roma Contract Renewal
His public refusal to commit and comments about possible returns to Argentine clubs leave Roma facing an unsigned player as they finalise their Champions League plans.
Overview
- Recent remarks to ESPN and Argentine media show Paulo Dybala saying he has not decided his future and that he will not discuss it out of respect while still a Roma player.
- Dybala left open moves back to Argentina, naming Boca Juniors and his first club Instituto as possibilities, which has fuelled transfer speculation.
- No new contract has been announced and Dybala’s current deal is due to expire at the end of the month, leaving negotiations unresolved as the deadline nears.
- Reports had described talks as advanced toward a short, bonus-heavy one-year renewal that would cut his base wage sharply in favour of incentives, but his comments suggest those talks have stalled.
- Dybala has been influential for Roma since joining from Juventus, and his late-season contributions helped secure Champions League qualification, giving both the player and club leverage as they decide next steps.
