Paulo Dybala’s contract almost always ends up at the center of the debate. Because it is an agreement made two seasons ago but with a particular situation. That is, if the bonuses are met, the salary starts again from a fixed base which would have been that of the most fixed bonuses of the previous year. The first year he had 4 plus 2.1 bonus, then 6.1 plus 2.1 bonus, arriving at this, where we are around 8 million plus the usual additional 2.1. And it is also for this reason that the situation, with a renewal, risks becoming almost unsustainable next summer.
And then there is Galatasaray. Who has Icardi under contract for 11 million euros per year, then Osimhen for whom he gives a little less, but who has undertaken to pay all the monthly payments apart from those for July and August. The Nigerian is unlikely to remain in Türkiye, so the resources could be unlocked to reach Dybala. Perhaps anticipating the move to January, especially if he had not yet achieved the objectives for the automatic renewal there.
This could make the accounts smile, a little less so for those who have to send the team onto the pitch. Because it is clear that there is a Roma with Dybala and one without, especially in the attempt to finish fourth and therefore play in the next Champions League. From Türkiye, the rumors about Galatasaray’s emissaries in Italy to observe the Joya are already in the public domain. We’ll see if there will be an assault to recreate an all-Argentine pairing with Icardi, that is, the one Paratici wanted years ago.
