What’s known about Dybala’s future at Roma and where Boca stand | OneFootball

Boca Juniors is calmly navigating the current transfer window (they have yet to sign any reinforcements), but they are already thinking ahead to the next one, where they will focus all their efforts on bringing in Argentine forward Paulo Dybala, who will be finishing his contract with Roma and, in principle, would leave the Eternal City and Serie A.

According to the Italian outlet La Reppública, La Loba and La Joya will begin talks to extend their working relationship, although the deal would include a pay cut for the 32-year-old left-footer. However, TyC Sports has learned that it is very unlikely that the player from Córdoba will continue his career with the Giallorossi.

Although the positions seem clear and Boca is optimistic, the situation could change depending on Dybala’s performance on the pitch. The World Cup winner with the Argentine national team took part in the 3-1 victory over Genoa on Monday and completed a full match for the first time since October 29.

After the game, his coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, who is under contract until June 2028, highlighted the importance of the former Juventus player in his team: “We don’t have other players of such quality. It’s clear that when he’s in form, our attacking play is completely different.” Finally, the coach concluded: “If he’s not injured, he plays.”

Meanwhile, the Romans are having a good campaign in Serie A. After 17 rounds, they have accumulated 33 points and are in fourth place, just three points behind Inter, the league leaders, and in a direct qualification spot for the next edition of the Champions League—a factor that could greatly benefit the club’s finances.

With the aim of reducing these uncertainties, Boca has started a charm offensive to secure the player born in Laguna Larga. First, club official Marcelo Delgado admitted: “Hopefully we can make the effort. It’s a dream and an aspiration.”

Then, Leandro Paredes, captain, main figure of the squad, and former teammate of La Joya, made a quick trip to the Italian capital during his vacation to try to finally convince his friend.

For now, the board, led by Juan Román Riquelme, has made initial inquiries with the player and his representatives and is optimistic about the outcome of the operation, even though they have not yet made any formal offer.
