Dybala signals Premier League interest as Roma push for contract renewal

Paulo Dybala has expressed interest in continuing his career in the Premier League, according to the English edition of Sky Sport. The Argentine forward, currently playing for AS Roma, made the comments following the club’s victory against Parma. While the report highlights his preference for English football, the final decision regarding his future remains uncertain and is described as more of a suggestion than a confirmed intent to leave.

The most immediate prospect for the player, known as the “Joya”, appears to be a contract extension with the Giallorossi. His agent, Carlos Novel, has left Rome and is actively engaging with club owners and management to discuss a renewal. Novel has resumed contact with the Friedkin family and manager Gian Piero Gasperini following the conclusion of the season to negotiate terms.

Roma owners, the Friedkin family, are intent on securing Dybala’s stay for at least another year. The club views the renewal as the primary pathway forward, with the departure option currently viewed as secondary. The focus remains on finalising a deal that ensures the Argentine talent’s permanence within the Italian side for the upcoming campaign.

Interest in Dybala has also been noted from his former club, Boca Juniors. However, the Argentine outfit has not yet made a formal offer. Assessments suggest that Boca Juniors may lack the financial resources required to bring the player back to his homeland, leaving the Premier League and a Roma extension as the more viable scenarios.

This potential move to England carries historical precedent. In 2019, while still at Juventus, Dybala was on the verge of a transfer to Manchester United. That deal collapsed at the last minute due to a change of heart, marking a significant moment in his career prior to his current tenure in Rome.
