Overview
- On Saturday Paulo Dybala said he has not decided his next club, named Instituto and Boca as possible options, and added he will not discuss his future publicly while he remains a Roma player through June 30.
- AS Roma has made Dybala a renewal priority under new sporting director Daniele D'Amico and the Friedkin ownership and is in ongoing contact with the player's agent, Novel.
- Reports say no decisive meeting has yet taken place between Dybala's camp and Roma, a delay that has reportedly frustrated the player and stretched talks into the contract's final days.
- Media outlets have published reported figures showing a modest wage gap—with Dybala's camp said to seek about €3 million per year for two years and Roma opening near €2.5 million plus bonuses—while disagreements over bonuses and duration remain.
- With Dybala’s contract expiring June 30 the next few days are likely to decide his destination, and Roma’s desire to keep him for Champions League football raises pressure to close the deal even as financial and squad decisions complicate talks.
