Paulo Dybala (28), who is looking for a new team as a free agent, has begun negotiations with AS Roma (Italy). Some predict that the transfer is likely to be made, with specific salaries and contract periods already being discussed. Fans’ interest is also soaring as Dybala and Jose Mourinho (59, Portugal) can meet.
“Divala has recently been officially offered a contract by Rome,” said Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the European football transfer market, on his social networking service (SNS) on the 18th (Korea Standard Time), adding, “The contract period is until June 2025, and the annual salary is 6 million euros (about 8 billion won) before tax.”
Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio also said, “Divala has started negotiating with Rome. “We’ve already met and heard about the team’s project,” he said. “Now he’s going to have a detailed discussion with the agent to decide the future.”
Dybala’s contract with Juventus (Italy) expired as of the 30th of last month, ending his seven-year companionship and becoming free. As a result, he received love calls from numerous clubs. Barcelona, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur (England), and Inter Milan (Italy) entered the recruitment match.
However, negotiations have been stalled due to excessive interest and unreasonably high salaries. In fact, Dybala wanted additional options in addition to 10 million euros (about 13.3 billion won) after taking off taxes as he is an FA player who does not charge transfer fees.
In the end, the clubs that showed interest began to withdraw one by one, and Dybala became a duck egg on the Nakdong River overnight. In response, he was forced to lower his salary to 6 million euros when he faced a crisis of not being able to find a new club, and in the midst of this, he is pushing for a transfer while negotiating with Rome.
Dybala left Palermo (Italy) in the summer of 2015 to join Juventus. In addition to his natural talent and outstanding skills, he attracted the attention of many soccer fans with his good looks, and he played well by producing numerous attack points with 115 goals and 48 assists in 293 games. During this period, he took the lead in lifting the trophy, including five Serie A championships in Italy, four Copa Italia championships, and three Supercopa Italian championships.
