Paulo Dybala Agrees to One‑Season Roma Deal

New Contract Secured for Roma

Paulo Dybala will put pen to paper on a one‑season agreement with Roma today, according to the Corriere dello Sport. The deal includes no option for extension and a net salary of roughly €3 million plus performance bonuses. The former Argentina forward had been a free agent after his previous contract expired.

Dybala had initially pushed for a longer commitment, but the improved wage package satisfied both sides and left him ready to commit. The agreement ensures Roma can retain his services without immediate long‑term obligations. He will officially rejoin the capital club on Sunday once the paperwork is signed.

Dybala Chooses Roma Over Boca Juniors

Boca Juniors made a strong push to bring the 30‑year‑old back to Argentina, with teammate Leandro Paredes reportedly urging a homecoming. Dybala never wavered in his desire to stay in Italy and remain with Roma. His decision sets up a fresh start for the club ahead of pre‑season. The striker is scheduled to arrive in Rome on Sunday with the contract in hand and will report to Trigoria on Monday to link up with manager Gian Piero Gasperini for training.

Roma have every reason to want him tied down, seeing him as a technical leader in the dressing room and a key figure for Gasperini’s plans. The one‑year deal also protects the club’s financial flexibility while keeping a valuable attacking option on the roster.

Why Roma Needed the Signing

Roma views Dybala as a technical leader and a core piece of Gasperini’s plans for the upcoming campaign. His influence was evident late last season, when three starts after injury produced four assists and helped the Giallorossi finish third and clinch Champions League qualification. Securing his services eliminates uncertainty and bolsters the squad depth. The one‑year deal also reflects the club’s financial strategy, keeping costs contained while retaining a player who can impact the final third.
