Paulo Dybala Signs One‑Year Roma Extension After Large Pay Cut

The deal shifts most pay into bonuses to lower Roma’s fixed wage bill as the club prepares for Champions League football.

Overview

  • AS Roma announced on Monday that Paulo Dybala has signed a contract running to 30 June 2027 and Dybala said the renewal was “what we all wanted.”
  • Reporting from multiple outlets says the one‑year deal reduces Dybala’s base pay sharply to around €2.5–3 million with significant performance bonuses replacing much of his prior salary.
  • The forward had been a technical free agent after his previous contract expired on 30 June and chose to stay in Rome despite offers from Boca Juniors and Saudi clubs.
  • Coverage differs on one clause: some sources report a Champions‑League‑triggered option to extend to 2028 while others say the contract contains no extension option.
  • The structure of the deal reflects Roma’s short‑term financial planning for a Champions League season and could affect matchday demand, sponsorship sentiment and fan‑token market interest.
