Significant Wage Reduction for the Argentine Star
According to prominent transfer journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Dybala’s renewed contract is for one year and does not contain any option to extend further. He is set to receive a base wage just under €3m per season, not including performance-related bonuses, marking a considerable decrease from his previous net salary of €8m, which made him Roma’s highest-paid player last term.
A Vital Figure for the Giallorossi
Since arriving at Roma in the summer of 2022, Dybala has quickly become a pivotal presence within the club, amassing 139 appearances and 45 goals. The club credits him not only for his on-pitch contributions but also for his leadership qualities both during matches and behind the scenes.
Roma’s official announcement reads:
“AS Roma is delighted to announce that Paulo Dybala has signed a contract extension with the club until 30 June 2027,” read a statement on the club website.
“Since arriving in the capital in the summer of 2022, Dybala immediately ignited the passion of the Giallorossi faithful. Over the course of 139 appearances and 45 goals, he has established himself as a key figure on the pitch and a leader both on and off the field.
“The story between Roma and La Joya continues, with many more chapters left to write. Forward together, Paulo!”
