The Argentinian striker did not renew his contract and will leave Roma at the end of the season.
Dybala did not renew his contract with Roma.
Paulo Dybala is likely to return to Boca Juniors from June 2026. After weeks of negotiations, the latest offer from the Italian capital club, including €4 million in salary and €1 million in bonuses, was flatly rejected by the Argentine striker.
That figure is significantly lower than the compensation Dybala received in previous seasons. For a player who was once central to Roma's playing style and a professional icon, this proposal is seen as a "demotion" both financially and in terms of status.
While appreciating the goodwill from the management, Dybala felt the offer did not accurately reflect his role and influence within the team.
Since joining Roma, "La Joya" has experienced a strong resurgence after a turbulent period at Juventus. He has become a spiritual leader, a source of inspiration in big matches, and has made a significant contribution to the team's European journey.
However, changes in salary policy and restructuring direction led to the end of that relationship. At the age of 32 in 2026, Dybala wants to fulfill his unfinished dream: return to Argentina and conquer the Copa Libertadores with Boca Juniors.
