Dybala Reportedly Set to Sign Two-Year Roma Deal After Large Pay Cut
The reported agreement shifts most compensation into appearance and performance bonuses to limit Roma’s financial exposure to Dybala’s injury record while keeping his commercial value at the club.
Overview
- Multiple outlets report Paulo Dybala is expected to sign a two-year extension with Roma days before his contract would have expired, though the club has not issued an official confirmation.
- The deal reportedly cuts Dybala’s guaranteed salary from about €8 million a season to roughly €2–2.5 million with the rest paid through bonuses tied to appearances and performance.
- Appearance-based incentives are central to the contract because Roma and Dybala accept that his history of injuries raises the club’s financial risk if most pay were fixed.
- Sporting and business motives drove Roma’s push to keep him: coach Gian Piero Gasperini values Dybala for the Champions League campaign and the club benefits from his strong shirt sales.
- Dybala had attracted interest from clubs such as Boca Juniors but was said to be leaning toward staying in Rome, a choice that could shape Roma’s transfer plans and squad building this summer.
