AS Roma: Dybala’s release clause in two parts

Second most valuable entry

18 goals in 23 league games, with AS Roma still on course for the Champions League (to the table) and in the semi-finals of the Europa League: the current season could hardly have gone better for world champion Paulo Dybala. “My future is here to take Roma to the top and I believe we can do that,” the Argentine announced a few weeks ago, citing speculation about an early move. Dybala’s contract is dated until 2025, the professional has an exit clause – like the transfer insider Fabrizio Romano reported on Thursday, this is divided into two. In addition, the Roma have the opportunity to undermine them with offers from Serie A.

Clubs from the Italian upper house would have to shell out 20 million euros to free the 29-year-old from the Giallorossi prematurely. Dybala’s advisors are said to have insisted on the clause – ten million euros below its current market value – as part of the free transfer from Juventus Turin last summer. As far as is known, but what is new is Romano’s information that the Roma have the opportunity to intervene if they are offered a corresponding offer. This is conceivable through another option anchored in the working paper, which can be drawn by the club and includes an increase in the annual salary from the current 3.8 million to six million euros. In that case, the opt-out clause for offers from Italy would become obsolete.

The latter should also have another passage, according to which the player would be able to move from Italy to another international league with a lower transfer fee. According to Romano, a foreign club would have to shell out twelve million euros to activate them. In this case, Dybala has full decision-making power over his future.

Dybala, who was linked with Galatasaray and most recently with FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid in the last winter transfer window, became Roma’s second most valuable signing after Tammy Abraham (25) nine months ago – the latter was from FC for €40m in 2021 Chelsea signed. The right-footed player is currently seventh in the Serie A goalscorers list. The 38-time national player is now a long way from the highest market value of his professional career – 110 million euros in the summer of 2018. He had 115 goals and 48 assists in 293 games for his previous club Juventus between 2015 and 2022, putting him tenth among the Bianconeri’s all-time leading goalscorers, level with Roberto Baggio.
