Roma seal Dybala deal, Giallorossi set sights on Champions League

Done deal: 27 appearances and eight assists underline Paulo Dybala’s impact as the Argentine forward signs a contract extension with Roma, confirming he will stay with the Giallorossi and feature in the Champions League for the first time in the club’s jersey. The deal was announced without a transfer fee, meaning Dybala simply continues his stay at the capital club. Roma confirmed the extension after internal negotiations concluded. Dybala played a decisive role in Roma’s return to the Champions League, scoring in the final match in Verona under intense pressure and securing a victory that delivered a third‑place finish. His goal in Verona proved the difference between a Europa League spot and the coveted Champions League place. His influence in that game convinced head coach José Gasperini that the forward is a technical certainty, prompting the request for a new contract. Gasperini praised Dybala’s composure and described him as essential for the upcoming European campaign.

Despite a series of physical problems that have limited his recent output, the club still regards him as essential. Medical staff have monitored his condition closely, but Roma’s hierarchy remains confident in his long‑term value. The Friedkins have backed Gasperini’s decision and reached a full agreement on the Joya’s contract extension. Their support underscores the belief that Dybala, nicknamed La Joya, will remain a cornerstone of the squad.
