Boca on alert: in Italy they say Dybala will renew at Roma | OneFootball

In Italy, they report that his representative had a key meeting in Trigoria and that La Joya is willing to take a considerable pay cut. Gasperini wants him, but the final say will belong to the owner of the Loba.

At Boca, they are closely following the developments emerging this Tuesday from the offices in Trigoria’s sports complex as if it were the blue-and-gold training ground in Ezeiza. The reason is that there, on the outskirts of Rome, another key meeting was held over the future of Paulo Dybala that could completely change the picture.

Beyond the fact that Juan Román Riquelme’s leadership has thrown open the doors of La Bombonera to him, the Boca faithful are applying pressure, and even the forward himself admitted last Sunday that “the derby could be my last match in front of these fans”, since he is just a few weeks away from becoming a free agent. Still, the latest proposal from his representative Jorge Antun to the Loba’s board could pave the way for him to stay in Italy.

Early in the day, the local press reported that La Joya is willing to sit down and sign a contract extension through mid-2027 with a sharp and considerable pay cut: he would go from earning eight million euros per year (plus another million in performance bonuses) to just two million plus bonuses.

Being out for three months with a meniscus injury in his left knee made him lose a lot of ground in Rome and also with the Argentina national team (he is not included in the preliminary squad and will miss the World Cup). Even so, his coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to keep him for next season and has already made that clear to Roma’s top brass.

The offer is on the table. The final word on whether Dybala stays for another season or brings his time in the Italian capital to an end next June belongs to Dan Friedkin, the club’s owner. Meanwhile, Boca will keep waiting for him until the very last moment, and Leandro Paredes will not stop texting and calling in an effort to convince him. “Hopefully, I’d truly love that. I talk to him, and he really wants to come,” he admitted after winning the Superclásico at the Monumental.
