​Paulo Dybala has confirmed that signing a new contract with Roma was “what we all wanted” and he is excited to continue his career at the Stadio Olimpico. The decision had already been in the air for weeks, even though his previous deal technically expired on June 30. Dybala faced multiple options, including a return to his beloved Boca Juniors and lucrative offers from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, but he ultimately chose to extend his stay with Roma on a reduced salary of around €3 million per season, with the contract running through June 2027.
“This story continues, which is what we all wanted,” Dybala said on Roma’s official website. “That’s the club, me, and I hope the fans too. I am happy to have another season here, in this city and this country, and to be able to defend the Roma jersey, which is a privilege.” The decision to remain was also influenced by Roma’s return to the UEFA Champions League, reclaiming a place among Europe’s elite after a seven-year absence. Dybala spoke about what Roma means to him personally, describing the club as representing responsibility, honour, and beauty, elements that helped solidify his commitment to staying.
He also conveyed a message to the Roma faithful, particularly in light of season-ticket sales that surged on the first day. “I am happy to be here with you again for next year too, and to see you at the Olimpico and in away games, especially when the wonderful music plays that we were all waiting to hear, so we can make you proud on European nights.” The 32-year-old Argentina international joined Roma as a free agent from Juventus in 2022 after having first moved to Italy with Palermo in 2012, and his decision to renew underscores the mutual bond between the player, the club, and its supporters.
Dybala’s continued presence in the capital comes amid a busy period for Roma, who have celebrated key moments with teammates and coaches as they eye continued progress in Serie A and a renewed challenge in Europe. The forward’s return to a contract that keeps him in Rome for at least another two seasons reinforces the club’s longer-term plans and signals a sustained commitment to building a competitive squad around his talents. As Dybala and Roma prepare for the next campaign, fans can anticipate more contributions from a player who has long worn the Roma jersey with pride and who remains eager to help the club achieve its ambitions on domestic and continental stages.
