In a significant development, Paulo Dybala has accepted an offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadsiah. The Argentine forward’s decision, which was eagerly anticipated in Rome, came on Wednesday as he chose to leave the Olimpico for a new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Dybala has agreed to a three-year contract worth a total of €75 million with Al-Qadsiah. In the coming hours, the player’s agent is scheduled to meet with Roma officials to discuss the transfer details. The Italian club will need to decide whether to accept a compensation fee of approximately €3 million for Dybala’s departure.
This figure is notably lower than the €12 million release clause that expired on August 1, putting the final decision in Roma’s hands. The club must now weigh the financial implications against the loss of one of their star players.
Initially, Dybala had shown reluctance to leave Europe, hoping to play in the Champions League, potentially with a Premier League club. However, with no European clubs meeting his release clause, the lucrative offer from Al-Qadsiah ultimately proved too tempting to resist.
This transfer marks the end of Dybala’s tenure at Roma and adds to the growing list of high-profile players moving to the Saudi Pro League.
