Dybala and Roma Contract Talks Still a Million Euros Apart

Roma and Paulo Dybala are still dancing around each other, close enough to touch but not quite ready to lock in step.

The Argentine forward’s contract renewal, which recently felt like a formality, remains unresolved. Talks are ongoing, but there is still no definitive agreement, and the clock is ticking on a situation that could reshape Roma’s attack before the new season even begins.

Dybala himself has kept the door wide open. Speaking to ESPN a few days ago, he drew a clear line between present and future without crossing it. “I'm still a Roma player until the end of the month. Out of respect for the club, I won't talk about my future because I haven't decided yet. Anything can happen. Many times I thought one thing would happen, and instead, it turned out to be completely different.”

Those words landed like a warning. Not a farewell, not a promise. Just uncertainty.

Inside the negotiating room, the problem is brutally simple. According to Repubblica, Roma and Dybala are separated by around one million euros in salary. The club has put its offer on the table. The player wants more. For now, neither side has moved enough to close the gap.

Dybala is pushing for a more advantageous deal, reflecting both his status in the squad and his importance to Roma’s ambitions. The Giallorossi, for their part, are weighing budget, age, and risk, aware that one wrong move on a marquee contract can echo through several transfer windows.

So the talks continue. No rupture, no breakthrough. Just that stubborn one‑million‑euro distance.

He remains, as he said, a Roma player “until the end of the month.” After that, the numbers will decide whether the Olimpico keeps its star or watches him walk into a new chapter.
