🤔Boca’s big dream: is there a chance Dybala could join? | OneFootball

Boca Juniors’ interest in signing Paulo Dybala remains alive, but the player’s contractual situation with AS Roma is a significant obstacle. The “Jewel” secured his stay with the Italian team until early 2025, and it won’t be easy for Xeneize to make his arrival happen.

The obstacles to the dream

Dybala’s contract was automatically extended until the end of June 2026 through the activation of a previously stipulated clause. This means that if Boca wants to sign the forward in the next transfer window, they will have to negotiate directly with Roma and pay a considerable sum for his transfer, since the player will still have more than a year left on his contract.

The only economically viable alternative for Boca would be to wait until mid-2026, when Dybala becomes a free agent, although by then they would have to compete with the European market.

Paredes awaits him for the Cup

While Boca’s management analyzes their options, excitement remains high within the squad. Leandro Paredes, Dybala’s teammate on the Argentina national team, did not hide his desire to see him wearing the blue and gold jersey.

“Having a player like Paulo on the team, with the quality and class he has, would be something spectacular,” Paredes said at a press conference. Although he acknowledged that the decision is a personal one, especially now that Dybala is about to become a father, the midfielder was clear: “Hopefully he makes the best decision for himself and his family. We’re waiting for him here with our hopes intact.”
