The spotlight has turned to Paulo Dybala, the star of Roma and a Serie A icon, as he garners significant interest from Spanish powerhouses Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. As Dybala prepares to take the field for Roma’s Europa League encounter against Brighton, the remainder of the season could hold the key to his future with the club.
Daniele Longo’s reports shed light on Dybala’s eagerness to prolong his journey with Roma, with talks of a new deal expected to intensify soon under the Friedkins’ ownership. Despite the temporary slowdown in negotiations following Tiago Pinto’s departure, discussions are poised to resume shortly.
Interest from spanish giants
News of Barcelona’s interest in Dybala, as reported by the Spanish press, has been confirmed by Longo. Moreover, there is also significant attention from Atletico Madrid, with the capital club displaying a particular keenness towards the Argentine forward.
However, any potential move by Atletico Madrid or Barcelona would necessitate triggering Dybala’s release clause, set at a modest €13 million, which will be active for a month during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Roma’s response and strategic pptions
Roma finds itself at a critical juncture, with Dybala’s future hanging in the balance. The club could leverage the interest from other clubs to expedite contract negotiations and secure Dybala’s commitment for the long term. Alternatively, failure to reach an agreement could see Roma risk losing Dybala for a relatively low sum in the summer transfer window.
The coming months are poised to be decisive as Roma navigates the delicate balance between retaining Dybala and maximizing his market value. The club’s ability to navigate these negotiations effectively could shape not only Dybala’s future but also Roma’s prospects in the transfer market.
