A few days ago Paulo Dybala turned 32, and once again he is working to recover from yet another injury – one that has already forced him to miss a couple of matches.

First premise: his current salary, around €8 million, is completely out of scale. Any eventual offer will be significantly lower.

Now it’s time to draw conclusions, starting from two simple truths.
Dybala’s quality has never been in question, but his repeated muscular problems will inevitably weigh on the final decision, which must be made with sustainability in mind.
We will also have to understand the size and structure of Roma’s eventual proposal, and whether it aligns with Dybala’s expectations.

The Argentine has always made it clear that he feels at home in the capital, but goodwill alone cannot settle the economic and physical considerations now on the table.
