After the Juventus, Roma became the team where Paulo Dybala he left an indelible mark: 95 games played, 35 goals scored. But the numbers are not enough to tell what the Argentine represented for the Roma fans and, at the same time, what the city of Roma has meaning for him.
The link between Dybala and the Roma it’s not just football, it’s emotional. It is the mutual feeling between a champion who struggles to imagine himself wearing another shirt and a fan base who welcomed him as a hero. If today Dybala he hesitates to definitively close this parenthesis of his career, it is because of that deep, visceral affection that he found in the Capital. Reciprocated, in every gesture and word. But above all, it is for that dream that still keeps him tied to Rome: win.
Tears have been a constant in the relationship between Dybala e Roma. Tears of joy, like those of the fans during his presentation at the Square Colosseum on July 26, 2022, at a time when everything seemed possible: the Roma fresh from the victory of the Conference League, José Mourinho on the bench and Dybala ready to make a difference. But also tears of pain, like those of Budapest, where the dream of a bigger European trophy was shattered on an emotionally charged night. And again, the tears of this summer, when the Argentine chose to give up the millions offered by Arab clubs to give himself one last chance to Roma, hoping to write that page that was still missing.
This season, however, tells a different story. Between injuries, difficulties and a Roma that seems to struggle to find a clear direction, the future of Dybala appears increasingly distant from the capital. Turkish football Galatasaray it is not that far from the Italian one, neither geographically nor technically. And so, the idea of a goodbye becomes more and more concrete. The love of the fans remains unchanged but perhaps, after all, it is time to say goodbye. A farewell that smacks of regret for what could have been and wasn’t, but which could end with a handshake and the awareness of having lived a special story.
