Boca on alert: Italy say Dybala will renew with Roma | OneFootball

In Italy, reports say that his representative held a key meeting in Trigoria and that La Joya is willing to take a considerable pay cut. Gasperini wants him, but the final word will come from the owner of the Loba.

At Boca, they are closely following the developments emerging this Tuesday from the offices in the Trigoria training complex as if it were Boca’s blue-and-gold grounds in Ezeiza. That is because, on the outskirts of Rome, another key meeting took place regarding Paulo Dybala’s future, one that could completely change the picture.

Beyond the fact that Juan Román Riquelme’s board has thrown open the doors of La Bombonera to him, the Boca faithful are putting on the 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. His representative Jorge Antun’s latest proposal 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 renewal until mid-2027 with a significant and abrupt salary cut: he would go from earning eight million euros per year (plus another million in performance bonuses) to just two million plus bonuses.

Having spent three months sidelined with a meniscus injury in his left knee caused him to lose a lot of ground in Rome and also with the Argentina national team (he is not on the preliminary list and will miss the World Cup). Even so, his coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to keep counting on 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 one more season or brings his spell 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.
