Roma forward Paulo Dybala could be the subject of a summer-long transfer saga amid prolonged contract extension talks. According to Calciomercato, Juventus and Napoli have contacted the player’s agent over a potential summer deal.
Paulo Dybala has become one of the most influential figures at the Stadio Olimpico since swapping Juventus for Roma in 2022. However, his contract is due to expire at the end of the month, with the Giallorossi yet to find an agreement with the 32-year-old superstar.
Despite Dybala’s readiness to take a massive pay cut, the club’s latest proposal has fallen short of his demands. Indeed, La Joya continues to insist on a €3 million net-per-season salary, while Roma have offered just around €2.5 million. Therefore, the Argentine could leave the club in the coming weeks.
Talks are ongoing, yet Roma must lift their bid if they’re to convince their standout forward to put pen to paper on a new deal. Otherwise, he could pack his bags, with Juventus and Napoli reportedly following the situation with bated breath.
Our take on Dybala & Roma
No one can question Dybala’s quality and influence. However, the left-footed forward has become notoriously prone to injuries. Only last season, he made just 15 Serie A starts, tallying two goals and seven assists.
However, now that Roma are back in the Champions League, they’ll need a player of his caliber to provide creativity and experience on the biggest stage. Meanwhile, Dybala’s return to Juventus makes even more sense.
With Dusan Vlahovic set to leave Turin, Luciano Spalletti will have a huge void to fill, and turning to a familiar face could be a wise move.
