Su salario (8M€) es considerado elevado, por lo que la idea es rebajarlo, algo a lo que no se opone el jugador.

Salary Adjustment Central to Negotiations
The primary stipulation in the negotiations revolves around remuneration. Dybala currently earns 8 million euros, a figure deemed excessive by Roma’s board. As such, a reduction in salary is considered necessary — a prospect that Dybala does not oppose.
| Player | Current Club | Current Salary (euros) | Negotiation Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paulo Dybala | Roma | 8,000,000 | Renewal talks ongoing; pay cut expected |
Dybala Marks Return After Injury
Dybala made his first official appearance since March on Saturday, coming off the bench during Roma’s 1:0 win against Bologna in their Serie A opener. This fixture marked his return to competitive action following surgery required in the wake of another injury earlier in the year.
