Paulo Dybala Extends Roma Contract to June 2027

He accepted a large wage reduction, with no automatic extra year, to secure Champions League football with Roma.

Overview

  • AS Roma made the renewal official on Monday, July 13, 2026, announcing that Dybala will stay at the club through June 30, 2027 and remain in Europe for next season's Champions League.
  • The reported deal cuts Dybala's salary from about €7.5 million to roughly €3 million and does not include an automatic one‑year extension.
  • Roma described Dybala as a technical pillar and a leader inside and outside the dressing room, signaling he will be a focal figure in the club's push in European competition.
  • The extension closes the current window of interest from Boca Juniors, which had explored a free transfer route and reported contacts involving Rodolfo Arruabarrena and the prospect of pairing Dybala with Leandro Paredes.
  • The club framed the move as a financial compromise to meet budget targets and UEFA requirements, while Dybala's recent injury‑related inconsistency — three goals and seven assists in 27 matches last season — makes his fitness the main factor to monitor next season.
