Dybala Set to Extend With Roma on One‑Year, Bonus‑Heavy Deal
A reported one‑year renewal would shift the forward’s pay toward performance bonuses while depending on Champions League income to justify the club’s offer.
Overview
- Multiple reports on Thursday say Paulo Dybala is close to signing a one‑year extension with Roma that could include an option for a further season.
- The deal as reported would cut Dybala’s fixed pay to about €2–2.5 million and add substantial bonuses tied to goals, appearances and team targets.
- Roma’s owner and coach have pushed to keep Dybala and his desire to play in the Champions League is described as a key reason he is willing to accept lower base pay.
- Boca Juniors and Fenerbahce remain interested, giving Dybala outside options if talks collapse, but Roma officials are said to be preparing an official announcement soon.
- Dybala joined Roma in 2022, has battled injuries this season, and his return to the squad coincided with an improved run of results that the club values as it plans next season.
