Paulo Dybala is staying at AS Roma, and he is doing it for considerably less money than before. The Argentine forward has agreed in principle to a one-year contract extension through June 2027, with an option for a further year through 2028, at a base salary of roughly €2.5 million per year.
For context, his previous deal paid him €8 million annually. That is not a renegotiation. That is a salary reset.
What the deal actually looks like
The new contract will be structured around a lower base with performance-related bonuses layered on top. The extension runs to June 2027, with the additional year contingent on Roma qualifying for the UEFA Champions League again.
Dybala originally signed with Roma on a three-year deal in July 2022. That contract was set to expire in June 2025, and the negotiations over what came next have apparently been ongoing for some time. The fact that they landed here, at roughly 31 cents on the euro compared to his previous wage, tells you something about both Roma’s financial reality and Dybala’s priorities.
