Paulo Dybala and continuity: two entities that seemed very distant and which, lately, are increasingly going hand in hand. The Argentine has just started 8 games in a row as a starter for the Rome: this hasn’t happened to him in his career since 2018, when he wore the Juventus shirt. In Udine next weekend he can reach 9, provided that Ranieri fields him two and a half days after the Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar.
A surge in performance that can also change his (and the club’s) strategies for the future. According to what the Corriere dello Sportthanks to his continuity he once again attracted the attention of world champion coach Lionel Scaloni. By playing in a competitive context, Dybala thinks he can deserve the 2026 World Cup.
Coinciding with the world championship, Joya’s contract with Roma will expire (including the automatic renewal clause). However, Ranieri and Ghisolfi are working hard to propose a further extension until 2027 with a spread salary. The agreement would allow the Friedkins to save around 5 million gross, which in the era of financial fair play are not details. Dybala is not thinking about the future for now, but something is changing after the last troubled months in the Giallorossi.
