Paulo Dybala Hints At Roma Future As Boca Juniors Confirm ‘Dream’ Interest
The forward has been linked with a move back to Argentina.
Paulo Dybala appears to have played down speculation he could leave Roma in January.
Paulo Dybala’s Telling Social Media Post
As reported by FootItalia, Roma are working to keep Dybala with a new contract in the offing.
His current deal is set to run down at the end of the season, and while Gian Piero Gasperini has not yet helped him reach his past heights, the club are determined to keep him for at least another campaign.
However, he has recently been linked with a move to Boca Juniors in his homeland. His good friend, Leandro Paredes, is expected to play a role in the efforts to convince him to join.
Benfica were also in the race to land the former Juventus man, due to his good relationship with Jose Mourinho.
But, seemingly determined to clear up the rampant speculation, Dybala took to social media earlier this week.
He posted a training ground photo on Instagram alongside a caption which featured an “&” and the club’s tag. This, of course, suggests the intention was “Dybala & Roma”, a signal that he wants to remain at the club.
The upload caused a stir among Roma supporters, who want Dybala to stay beyond the end of the season.
Roma themselves responded with a fire emoji while his wife, Oriana Sabatini, also waded in by commenting “Aiaaa”, seemingly a hint toward the rumours that have dogged her partner.

Boca Juniors Confirm Paulo Dybala Interest
Boca Juniors yesterday officially confirmed their interest in signing Dybala. Club director Marcelo Delgado described the ambitious swoop as a combination of “dream and reality”, with an official approach expected.
“Dream, illusion or reality? Dybala is a mix of all of this,” Delgado told reporters. “We hope to be able to make the necessary effort to bring him here, regardless of whether there is a possibility or not.
“The only thing I know is his contract expires in June 2026. We will evaluate the situation and see what happens.”
With La Joya rapidly approaching the final six months of his deal, he is free to start negotiating with foreign clubs over a pre-contract contract from January 1, with a view to joining at the end of the season.
Roma negotiations with Dybala stalled over his wage demands, but he could yet choose to extend his stay.
