Attributed to original sourcePaulo Dybala is reportedly not fully convinced by Roma’s contract offer, but is still expected to sign a new deal next week.
Talks over the Argentine’s new contract at the Stadio Olimpico have continued in recent days, and according to Corriere dello Sport, the Giallorossi hope to put pen to paper on a new agreement at the beginning of next week.
Dybala set to sign new Roma contract
The Rome-based paper reports that Dybala is not entirely happy with Roma’s contract proposal, which includes a substantial pay cut and a one-year extension until June 2027.
The club, however, has agreed to include an option to extend Dybala’s contract for an additional season, potentially keeping him until 2028.

(Photo by Paolo Bruno/Getty Images) Dybala has attracted interest from other clubs as well, especially Boca Juniors, but the Argentine is eager to continue at Roma, for family reasons as well, despite not being entirely happy with the Giallorossi’s proposal.
Matteo Moretto reported earlier this week that Dybala has already informed Boca that he’ll continue with Roma for at least one more season.
According to CorSport, Dybala’s agent, lawyers and Roma directors are expected to finalise talks in the coming days.
The two parties have yet to fix the final details, including bonuses, while Dybala will return to Rome in five days.
Roma and Gian Piero Gasperini hope that, by then, Dybala has already signed a new deal.

What happened
Paulo Dybala's representatives are continuing negotiations with Roma over a contract extension. While the Argentine forward has not been entirely won over by the terms on the table, both sides remain in dialogue and an extension is still considered the likely outcome. The situation remains unresolved but the expectation is that a deal will eventually be concluded.
Chance analysis
Dybala's potential extension is significant for Roma's attacking planning. He remains a key creative outlet, and uncertainty around his future could affect Roma's short-term tactical decisions and transfer market strategy. A completed extension would stabilize Roma's frontline; failure to agree could force them into the market for a replacement. The tone of the article — 'not fully convinced but extension expected' — suggests a negotiation midpoint rather than a breakdown.
Roma's attacking unit remains likely to retain its key player, though short-term uncertainty persists during negotiations.
Dybala is likely to stay at Roma, so treat Roma's attacking output as stable rather than factoring in a Dybala departure.
