Alert at Boca, Milan enter the race for Dybala

Amid an idyllic moment that could reach its peak chapter on Sunday in the Superclásico against River, Paulo Dybala’s name is once again being heard in the Boca world. However, the news emerging from Italian media this time is alarming for the club from La Ribera: Milan wants to sign La Joya starting in July. In addition, Roma is not giving up, and no one dares rule out a contract extension.

According to Corriere dello Sport, the Córdoba native would give priority to the idea of staying in the elite of Serie A, the league where he has spent his entire career since leaving Instituto de Córdoba. To the real possibility of renewing his deal with his current club, despite the salary cut it would imply, a hugely important suitor has now been added.

Milan has made him a target for mid-year and, considering they would not have to pay a transfer fee, the club could offer him a contract on par with the one he currently has at Roma. In any case, they say this possibility is directly tied to the departure of Portuguese star Rafael Leão.

The Rossoneri join a long list of teams that have already sounded out the 32-year-old player. However, this name carries more weight, not only because it is in Italy, but because it is one of the biggest clubs in the world. Dybala feels at home in Rome, and with his first daughter just born, the intention is to change as little as possible. Buenos Aires had appeared as an enticing possibility, but Milan could be a good alternative.

He is currently recovering from knee surgery and they hope he can be medically cleared before the end of April. After a couple of seasons in which injuries have taken their toll on him, his place on the global stage has slipped: he is no longer untouchable at Roma and has little chance of going to the World Cup with the Argentina national team.

The three most likely scenarios for Dybala

Renewal with Roma: The capital club intends to offer him a new contract (his current one expires at the end of June), although with a salary reduction due to the budget adjustments the institution is carrying out. It is even mentioned that Dybala would consider the possibility of signing an incentive-based deal.
Move to Milan: If Rafael Leão’s departure is finalized, Milan will step up talks to sign him on a free transfer in the middle of the year. It is a global giant and, for the Córdoba native, it could be the last great challenge of his European career.
Return to Argentina to play for Boca: In recent times, it has come out that Dybala has always been a Boca fan. At 32, and after spending 14 years abroad, the idea of returning has long been circulating in his inner circle. Boca has already tried to lure him several times and has been working slowly but persistently on his arrival. In addition, his friend Leandro Paredes is waiting for him with open arms.
