Roma lock down La Joya as Serie A ambitions intensify
AS Roma have officially announced the contract renewal of their biggest star, Argentine forward Paulo Dybala, known as “La Joya”. After technically becoming a free agent on June 30, the forward decided to extend his deal with the Italian capital club until mid‑2027, securing his place in Serie A.
The Giallorossi have relied on Dybala’s attacking leadership since his arrival in the summer of 2022, and his continued presence fills the creative gap as the club targets UEFA Champions League participation. His desire to compete at the highest level matches Roma’s European ambitions.
To make the renewal possible, the 32‑year‑old accepted a significant pay cut, with reports indicating a new base salary of around 3 million euros per year. This figure is well below what he earned under his previous contract but secures his stay until mid‑2027.
