Dybala, renewal with Roma to be discussed: Champions League hat-trick but uncertain future:

The answer is him: Paulo Dybala. With three exclamation points, like those achieved with Toro, and only one question mark. If the question on the eve was: “Will he be able to overcome his injuries and take Roma by the hand?”, the Argentine responded with his first hat-trick in the Giallorossi. But if the question the following day, among the happy but restless fans, was also “Will it still be ours?”, Joya had already expressed herself in this regard on Monday with a cryptic phrase in her own way, “What will happen in the future will not I know…”, which has inevitably reopened a small glimpse of uncertainty about what will happen at the end of the season.

negotiations

Not even the South American probably knows the company’s plans: perhaps he would have recently welcomed a proposal to renew his contract which expires in 2025. But as the CEO, Lina Souloukou, has already hinted, every decision – including renewals – it will be up to the new sporting director, who will be presented in June. The future can still wait, therefore, also because there is the Champions League race to focus on (as Paulo’s agent, Jorge Antun, also said: “Roma must believe in it”) and there is a fan base to reward, who the Argentine openly thanked for the sold-out crowd on Monday. In any case, the issue will have to be “settled” because, in the meantime, the big names from half of Europe have gathered around the genius again with great interest.

Moreover, the signs that have emerged with the new year suggest a shared project. In agreement with the club, so to speak, the Argentine had decided at the beginning of 2024 not to take advantage of the clause (expired on January 15) in his contract, under which he could have left Rome. Destination Saudi Arabia, from where two offers of 12 million euros had arrived, a figure indicated by the agreement to oblige the company to release him in the event of proposals from abroad. A “declaration of love”, that of Joya, which was also manifested during days of defeat and discontent, during which it would have been easy to think of oneself elsewhere. Of course, the market sirens will sound again in the summer. And they will fit into the new foreign transfer window which will reopen in July, the month in which the contractual clause will be reactivated and Dybala, at that point, could evaluate possible “assaults”. But above all now that he has become “king of Rome” again, also crowned by Francesco Totti, it is very likely that the parties will find themselves in agreement for a renewal (with possible adjustment), coinciding with the arrival of the new sporting director from Spain to the Premier, up to Saudi Arabia, many continue to monitor him. But the Friedkins know how much Roma needs them and, for sure, they will be able to answer the “questions” of the fans after Turin…
