Boca in talks with Paulo Dybala, hopeful of June arrival | OneFootball

Whistling softly and taking it slow, Boca has been quietly nurturing the dream of seducing Paulo Dybala to wear their jersey starting in June, when his contract with Roma ends. After the “Jewel” declined to join in January—though he did give a hint that he might leave the door open for mid-year—reports from Italy now claim that formal contacts between the parties are ongoing and the possibility is beginning to take shape.

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reported that Boca’s management has been in constant talks with the entourage of the 32-year-old left-footer, and that the conversations are progressing well, even though the player has not yet made a final decision and there are still a few months left in which everything could change.

At the same time, one issue Boca must address regarding Dybala’s situation is that, according to the Italian portal La Repubblica, Roma has changed its stance and now wants to start talks with the world champion to extend his contract, although this would include a significant pay cut. Nevertheless, TyC Sports has learned that it is unlikely the Cordoban will continue his career with the Giallorossi, which increases the chances of him landing at La Bombonera.

Although the dream of having the “Jewel” did not materialize in this transfer window—something Juan Román Riquelme had considered, given his current contract in Italy and the difficulties of getting him out early—the hope at Boca remains intact to add their star signing for the second half of the year and, potentially, for the hypothetical round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.

“Oriana (Sabatini) is the one making a fuss, she wants to leave Rome. Because since Lea (Paredes) and Cami (Camila Galante, his wife) left, they were like best friends, having sleepovers, always together. If it happens, it’ll be in June. Not now, because Oriana is going to be a mom in March and I have a ticket to Rome in January,” said Catherine Fulop, her mother-in-law, in yet another sign that the chance of seeing him in the blue and yellow jersey is more real than ever.
