Paulo Dybala he feels once again at the center of Roma's project and his priority remains that of staying in the capital. The Argentine striker is happy, especially after Ranieri's public declarations of esteem at the end of the match against Parma, which had a significant impact not only on him, but on the entire environment, including the club. “As Mourinho said, there is a Roma with Dybala and one without. I know he wants to stay, he is happy with us and I with him,” said Ranieri, words that deeply gratified Joya.
However, time is running out for the automatic renewal which will increase his contract to 8 million euros net per season. This agreement, established at the time of signing, had entailed the waiver of bonuses and commissions by the player and his entourage. Although it is a considerable sum, the Friedkins consider it demanding, which is why the club has not yet locked down Dybala. General director Ghisolfi acknowledged the Argentine's importance to the team, but hinted that the club is open to evaluating offers.
Among the interested clubs, Galatasaray has already started contacts with Dybala's agent, Jorge Antun, proposing a salary of 10 million net per season, 2 million more than what he will receive at Roma. However, for Dybala it is not just an economic question: if money had been the determining factor, he would have accepted offers from Saudi Arabia last summer. His priority is the trust, esteem and prospects that Roma can offer him.
Two weeks ago, Ghisolfi contacted Dybala's agent, but there have been no further developments since then. Dybala is waiting to understand what the club's position will be, but he said he is available to discuss solutions that can meet the club's economic needs. Among the possible options are the possibility of spreading the salary over several years or removing the 12 million euro release clausewhich will be reactivated in the first fifteen days of January.
