Flamengo is keeping an eye on the possible signing of forward Paulo Dybala, currently at Roma (ITA), whose contract expires at the end of this month. However, despite the Argentine player's contract situation, the trend is for him to remain in the Italian capital.
According to information from journalist Fabrizio Romano, Roma received Paulo Dybala's counterproposal on Thursday to finalize the new contract. Therefore, the club from the Italian capital is in a favorable position to complete the negotiations and renew with the Argentine.
Flamengo is monitoring Paulo Dybala's situation due to the player's current contract scenario with Roma. The player had been leaning toward leaving the Italian club and becoming a free agent on the market. In this way, the Rubro-Negro side is now analyzing the situation before making any decision.
Paulo Dybala is under contract until the end of this month of June. However, the Argentine forward is expected to reach an agreement with Roma to renew his deal, even amid interest from Flamengo and Boca Juniors (ARG).
In the current season, Paulo Dybala has played 27 matches, a reduced number due to an injury suffered at the beginning of 2026. During that period, the Argentine scored three goals and provided seven assists for his teammates.
Currently, Flamengo has Gonzalo Plata, Luiz Araújo, Jorge Carrascal, Bruno Henrique and Samuel Lino as options to play on the wings. In addition, the Rubro-Negro team has Pedro and Wallace Yan as center forwards.
Even so, Flamengo could negotiate some players in this transfer window during the break for the World Cup. Therefore, the team managed by Leonardo Jardim is monitoring the market and evaluating possible options to strengthen the squad.
