Boca in talks with Paulo Dybala, hopeful of signing him in June | OneFootball

Whistling softly and on a slow burn, Boca has been nurturing the dream of enticing Paulo Dybala to wear their jersey starting in June, when his contract with Roma ends. After the Jewel's refusal to join in January, although with a wink to leave the door open for mid-year, in Italy they now claim that formal contacts between the parties are ongoing and the possibility is beginning to take shape.

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reported that the Boca management has been in constant dialogue with the 32-year-old left-footer's entourage and that the conversations are progressing well, despite the fact that there is still no definitive decision from the player and there are still a few months left in which everything could change.

Meanwhile, an issue Boca needs to address regarding Dybala's situation is that, according to the Italian portal La Repubblica, Roma has changed its stance and intends to start talks with the world champion to extend his contract, although it would include a significant salary reduction. However, TyC Sports found out that it is unlikely for the Cordoban to continue his career with the Giallorossi, which fuels the chance of him landing at La Bombonera.

Although the dream of having the Jewel did not materialize in this transfer window—something Juan Román Riquelme considered due to the validity of his contract in Italy and the difficulties in releasing him early—the hope at Boca remains intact to add their star reinforcement thinking about the second half of the year and, potentially, in hypothetical Copa Libertadores round of 16 matches.

“Oriana (Sabatini) is the one causing a fuss, wanting to leave Rome. Because since Lea (Paredes) and Cami (Camila Galante, his wife) left, they were like peas in a pod, having sleepovers, spending all day together. If it happens, it will be in June. Not now, Oriana is going to be a mom in March and I have a ticket to Rome in January,” said Catherine Fulop, his mother-in-law, in yet another sign that the option of seeing him in the blue and yellow jersey is more real than ever today.
