Boca on alert: doubts in Italy over Dybala’s future at Roma | OneFootball

Throughout his entire career in European football, since leaving Instituto de Córdoba in 2012, Paulo Dybala has played in Italy. First at Palermo, then at Juventus, and since 2022, at Roma. The Argentine attacking midfielder has been the football leader in every club he has played for, but in recent months, rumors have grown stronger about his intentions to join Boca, and the club's efforts to make this possible.

And there might not be a better opportunity for Boca to sign the world champion, who will turn 32 in ten days, than in the upcoming January and mid-2026 transfer markets. In Italy, they claim that his contract with the capital club, which expires in July 2026, might not be renewed.

“Too many injuries and the renewal is complicated,” understands the media outlet Il Messaggero, which also notes that since being in Roma, Paulo Dybala has already missed 58 matches, to which the next seven should be added after getting injured again, and adds that “the club has not yet started negotiations with his representative.”

“The player's quality is indisputable, but he suffers numerous muscular problems, and the club is divided between those who don't want to hear about a renewal and those who don't want to lose the class of the young man from Laguna Larga,” explains the media. It completes the information by explaining: “What matters is the determination of Roma, which to date has not initiated any negotiations with his agent or his club regarding the renewal. His contract expires in June 2026, and the possibility of a breakup at the end of the year is increasingly real.”

Paredes has already revealed that Dybala wants to play for Boca Leandro Paredes returned to Boca in mid-2025 with the aim of giving the team a quality boost, and with the Xeneize on the verge of securing their place in the 2026 Copa Libertadores, the excitement grows to see Paulo Dybala wearing the blue and gold jersey given his current situation in Roma.

“I would love [for him to come to Boca] because of the kind of player he is, because of the kind of person he is, it would be a dream for him, but I don't get involved in other people's decisions,” Paredes himself declared about the possibility of his national team teammate and former Roma teammate joining the Xeneize squad.
