Paulo Dybala signs for AS Roma and becomes one of Jose Mourinho’s most potent weapons as the team from the Italian capital becomes even stronger. The Argentine signed a three-year contract with another year an option and a salary equal to the team’s top earners, Lorenzo Pellegrini and Tammy Abraham – $4.6 million per season. However, if potential bonuses are paid, La Joya will earn just over $6 million per season.Even though he initially wanted over $8 million per year, Dybala will have to be pleased with his contract after a potential move to Inter fell through because of the Nerazzurri’s bloated wage bill.##NAJAVA_MECA_6514890##Despite Napoli offering more than Roma, the contract offered by the Blues also had a clause that would prevent Dybala from earning additional cash from his image rights. And with the draw of Jose Mourinho still one of the strongest in the sport, the Argentinean magician said yes to Giallorossi.The man who left Juventus on a free transfer will wear the number 21 shirt at Stadio Olimpico after another new boy Nemanja Matic kindly made it available for his new teammate. Roma will want their new player to hit the ground running, but it could lead to Dybala soon departing. The release clause agreed is set at just $20 million – a sum that wouldn’t represent much of an obstacle for rich clubs should the former Palermo forward find his best form in the Eternal City.🖊️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 | Paulo Dybala 👋Welcome to the Giallorossi! 🐺#ASRoma | @PauDybala_JR pic.twitter.com/jW3EEnz0m1— AS Roma English (@ASRomaEN) July 20, 2022 The man with a total of 98 goals in 271 Serie A appearances leaves Juventus with 115 strikes and 48 assists to his name in 293 Bianconeri outings.
