Boca in talks with Paulo Dybala, hopeful of signing him in June | 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—in Italy they now claim that formal contacts between the parties are ongoing and the possibility is beginning to take shape.

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reported that the Boca board has been in constant talks with the 32-year-old left-footer’s camp and that the conversations are progressing well, even though the player has yet to make a final decision and there are still a few months left in which everything could change.

Meanwhile, one issue Boca needs to address regarding Dybala’s situation is that, according to the Italian portal La Repubblica, Roma has changed its stance and intends to start talks with the World Cup champion to extend his contract, although this would involve a significant pay cut. Nevertheless, TyC Sports has learned that it’s unlikely the Cordoba native will continue his career with the Giallorossi, which increases the chances of him landing at La Bombonera.

Although the dream of having the “Jewel” didn’t materialize in this transfer window—something Juan Román Riquelme considered given Dybala’s contract in Italy and the difficulties in 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 in 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 this, always together, having sleepovers, spending all day together. If it happens, it’ll be in June. Not now, now Oriana is going to be a mom in March and I have a ticket to Rome in January,” said Catherine Fulop, his mother-in-law, in yet another sign that the chance of seeing him in the blue and yellow jersey is more real than ever.
