Paulo Dybala has clarified his intentions regarding his future, signaling a desire to remain at AS Roma, even as the club weighs up an offer for a contract renewal. Crucially, the Argentineโs potential departure in the upcoming January transfer window is completely out of the question.
According to the local edition of La Repubblica, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb, Dybalaโs desire to stay with the Giallorossi is a welcome piece of news, especially after speculation linked him with a potential return to Argentina, specifically Boca Juniors. The forward was reportedly surprised by these rumors and is committed to seeing out the season in Rome.
For a new deal to materialize, however, the report indicates that a first round of talks is expected between Roma management and Dybalaโs agent in the coming weeks, as the player is expecting the club to take the next step.
Roma Takes Time on Renewal
Roma, meanwhile, is taking its time to reflect on the situation. The management, under figures like Massara, aims to focus on players under 30 and reduce the overall wage bill. At 32, Dybala currently earns โฌ8.5 million net per season plus bonuses, a figure the club will be reluctant to match in a new agreement.
The club and coach Gasperini are now awaiting a consistent โsprintโ from the player, who needs to demonstrate that he can guarantee his high-level contribution on a continuous basis. His current 2025-2026 season stats show 10 Serie A appearances with one goal, plus two matches and one goal in the Europa League. Until Dybala proves his fitness and form consistency, the negotiations are expected to proceed cautiously.
