Boca target Paulo Dybala, move now or wait until summer? | OneFootball

Boca keeps the hope of adding Paulo Dybala to its ranks. From Italy, they assure that the forward will not renew his contract with Roma next June, due to recurring injuries that have affected his continuity. European media mention that the player from Córdoba has offers from the MLS and Arab football, although they do not include the Argentine club among those interested.

In the player's circle, there is talk of a concrete desire to return to Argentina, with more chances of this happening mid-year than at the start of the season. Boca, attentive to any movement, awaits a clear signal from the footballer to advance in the negotiations.

Another version indicates that conversations have already begun between Boca, Dybala, and Roma. After communication between the parties, the Italian club would have shown willingness to release the attacker at a low cost to avoid ending up empty-handed mid-year, which opens the door for him to wear the Xeneize jersey in January 2026.

Paredes is key to making Dybala's arrival at Boca happen.

One of the central points in any negotiation will be the medical evaluation. At Boca, they do not plan to overlook the player's physical history, considering recent experiences with players like Ander Herrera and Edinson Cavani. In the last semester, Dybala barely played 695 minutes in 13 matches, seven of them as a starter, with a record of two goals and one assist.

While this is happening, Leandro Paredes, national team teammate and friend of Dybala, was in Rome this Monday for personal reasons and took the opportunity to watch the match of his former teammates against Como.

The Roma coach referred to the forward's inconsistency. “Current football does not allow you to be in precarious conditions. When he's well, I have no doubt,” he declared before the clash against Como. After the match, in which Dybala played a few minutes, he added: “He is an extraordinary player. When he's well and plays, dribbles, and shoots, there's no one in Italy with his quality.”

The possible arrival of Paulo Dybala at Boca remains an enigma. Among the fans' hopes, international offers, and the need to resolve his physical condition, the next chapter will depend on the player's own decision and Roma's flexibility.

What Boca said about the interest in Paulo Dybala

In recent statements, Marcelo Delgado, the only remaining member of the Football Council and who acts as a link between the management and the squad, commented: “It's a mix of everything. Hopefully, we can make the effort, beyond whether the possibility exists, try to do it. The only thing I know is that his contract expires in June of next year, and then it will be evaluated and we'll see what happens.”
