Flamengo eye move for Roma's Paulo Dybala, says Argentine journalist | OneFootball

Dybala is under contract with Roma (ITA) until mid-year and will not renew

A business opportunity. That is how Paulo Dybala’s situation in the transfer market can be viewed. The Argentine will not renew his contract with Roma (ITA), and Flamengo is considering an offer for the 32-year-old player, according to journalist César Luis Merlo.

According to the reporter, Flamengo is preparing a four-year contract offer for the Argentine winger, whose current deal runs until June this year. In addition, Boca Juniors (ARG) also want the player. However, the Rubro-Negro club is the favorite because it can offer better financial terms compared to the neighboring country.

HOW IS DYBALA DOING AT ROMA?

A close friend of Wesley, formerly of Flamengo, at Roma, Dybala is currently sidelined. In early March, the Argentine underwent surgery on his left knee due to a partial meniscus injury. The player is expected to return to the pitch in mid-April.

In the 2025/26 season, Dybala played 22 matches, scored three goals and provided four assists. However, the 2022 World Cup winner with Argentina has not taken the field since January 25, when he played 69 minutes in the derby against Milan (ITA), which ended in a 1-1 draw.

IS THE POSITION A PRIORITY AT FLAMENGO?

Dybala likes to play wide on the right, the position where Plata prefers to play. Because of off-field behavior, coach Leonardo Jardim is not a fan of the Ecuadorian and is willing to negotiate the player’s departure after the World Cup. But internally, Mengão believes that the number 50 can only leave after a replacement has signed with the club.

While Flamengo has yet to decide Plata’s future and has not made an official offer for Dybala, the squad led by Leonardo Jardim takes the field this Thursday (02) against Bragantino in the ninth round of the Brasileirão. The match takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista.
