Paolo Dybala is deciding while Roma executives and fans are eagerly waiting. The Argentine as is mulling over his later proposal: a massively lucrative deal worth 20 million euros per season from Al Qadsiah. Roma would like Dybala to accept the proposal, giving them around 150 million euros for the fee (plus his big wage in Rome), but the fans have already warned the club not to sell their favourite player.Ora a Trigoria.#AsRoma #Dybala pic.twitter.com/NwZgtpB9Oy— Ilario RadioRadio (@IlarioDiGiovamb) August 15, 2024 As the owners of Roma, the Friedkin family, decided on significant cost-cutting measures, Dybala’s salary of 15,000,000 euros per year at the gross level (around 7 million net) became a serious burden. This would be even more challenging if his contract were to automatically extend for another year (until 2026) after the Argentine plays a certain number of matches (15 more in the new season). Essentially, over the next two years, Roma would spend 30,000,000 just on Dybala’s salary, after which the then 33-year-old Argentinian would become a free agent. In other words, the cost would outweigh the benefit, especially with the constant concern over Dybala’s fitness.Saudi clubs asking for Dybala, Roma has a decision to makeBut the fans also wanted to say something. Most Roma fans on social media are expressing their discontent, and the supporters’ feelings were clearly expressed in a message left outside the Giallorossi’s training ground at Trigoria last night. The message written on a wall read: “Don’t sell Paulo!” The Argentinian, when healthy, is still Roma’s best and most attractive player, but Giallorossi must think about the team as a whole. They brought in Matias Soule from Juventus, and with the money from potential Dybala’s sale, they intend to buy Jeremie Boga. According to Foot Mercato’s information, AS Roma has not reached an agreement with OGC Nice for the Ivorian international since they are waiting for Dybala to accept the Saudi offer first. Boga spent only one season in Nice since moving from Atalanta, but Roma wants to bring him back to Italian football. The Marseille-born forward scored and assisted six times during the club’s only season under manager Francesco Farioli.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 1Saturday19:30: (6.00) Genoa (3.90) Inter (1.58)19:30: (3.20) Parma (3.50) Fiorentina (2.35)21:45: (1.70) AC Milan (3.60) Torino (5.30)21:45: (2.50) Empoli (3.30) Monza (3.10)Sunday19:30: (2.00) Bologna (3.45) Udinese (4.30)19:30: (4.40) Verona (3.50) Napoli (1.85)21:45: (3.80) Cagliari (3.45) Roma (2.00)21:45: (1.50) Lazio (4.20) Venezia (6.75)Monday19:30: (3.90) Lecce (3.50) Atalanta (1.95)21:45: (1.37) Juventus (5.10) Como (10.0)***odds are subject to change***
