The derby against Lazio brought Paulo Dybala back to life.
The Argentine star, with his above-average touches and dribbling, lit up the pitch.
After several months away due to a meniscus injury, La Joya reclaimed the Stadio Olimpico: applause, chants, and plenty of love.
The Argentine striker’s future, however, still hangs in the balance. No definitive decision has been made.
His contract renewal hangs in the balance; uncertainty surrounded Dybala during the derby, where the affection of the Roma fans for him was evident.
From the perspective of a contract extension, access to the Champions League would change the economic, planning, and even commercial balance.
Dybala would have signed his contract renewal long ago, but now fourth place becomes crucial for sustainability, sponsorship, and image rights. Roma’s centenary is also on the horizon, an event the Argentine star cannot miss.
Paulo Dybala’s agent Carlos Novel arrived in the capital on Friday to be with his client and also watched the derby against Lazio up close.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport, Dybala’s agent left Rome yesterday without any further developments regarding his contract renewal.
The meeting has been postponed until next week, once the season is over and it will be known for certain which European competition the Giallorossi will compete in. The thread remains tense, but no one wants to break it.
