Roma's Decision
The club announced that it will not grant Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina permission to fly to Argentina to attend the event organized on the occasion of the last match of the Selección of Lionel Messi, scheduled for October 6.

In the official statement, AS Roma reiterated its respect for Messi and the Argentine Federation, wishing them a special evening, but emphasized that the choice is driven by sporting and logistical reasons related to the length of the trip and upcoming commitments.
