It’s been a year and a half since Paulo Dybala set Rome on fire. His contract with Juventus expired in the summer of 2022. The Argentine chose the Eternal City, and the Romans saw him as a football ‘Messiah’ who is coming to maybe open the way to the title. He did not manage to include Giallorossi into the race for the Scudetto, nor did he manage to win the Europa League (defeated in the final by Sevilla), but he led the same Roma to the final with great games and maybe the club from Olimpico would have fought for a place in the Champions League last season if frequent injuries did not plague the Argentine. Even despite his health problems, Dybala participated in 37 goals in 54 games since arriving in the capital, and this season there is no better assistant in Serie A than the Argentinian forward.🚨 Paulo Dybala will have a €13m release clause in his contract for non-Italian clubs from tomorrow! 🇦🇷AS Roma reserves the right to reject offers from Italian clubs but will not be able to do anything if the player wants to go abroad for a club which has activated the clause.… pic.twitter.com/aTJb8mEEnQ— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) December 31, 2023 That’s why Jose Mourinho, Dybala’s teammates, and Roma fans have a huge reason to be worried after the details of his contract emerged. As the Giallorossi did not have to pay compensation for him at one time, it is logical that the 30-year-old asked for certain concessions, and those concessions are made so that some European clubs could be interested in him this January. Lukaku and Dybala break Cremonese in just eight minutesNamely, from January 1 to 15, Dybala has an exit clause set at only 12,000,000 euros. The catch is that if an offer from an Italian club arrives, Dybala’s fate will be decided by Roma. But if a European club outside of Italy calls and puts an offer on the table, the Argentine will decide his own fate. This same exit clause, if Dybala stays at Olympique, will become active from July 1 to 31. These concessions basically showed that the Argentinian was looking to play somewhere else, but since there were no good offers at the time, he decided to sign with only one team, which was willing to take the risk and accept his demands. ‘If Lukaku needs to play as a defender, he will’This season alone, of the six games in which Dybala scored or set up goals, Roma won five and drew one. If we extend the calculation to all league games in which he recorded goals and assists – and there were 20 of them – Roma won 16 times, drew on three occasions and lost only once. So, Roma receives a huge attacking contribution from Dybala. Looking at that aspect, one wonders why the offers are not coming in already. But let’s not forget how often the Argentine gets injured (in 54 games he missed nearly 30 games), as well as that his employment entails large salary costs.##NAJAVA_MECA_7781569##
