Dybala hints derby may be his last Roma match; Gasperini keen to keep him

Source: Forza Roma

Paulo Dybala returned to Roma's starting lineup for the first time in 105 days and delivered a penalty kick in a match that kept the club's Champions League hopes alive. However, his post-match demeanor appeared subdued, and his contract situation looms large over his future at the club. With his deal set to expire on June 30, Dybala suggested the upcoming derby against Lazio could be his final appearance for Roma's supporters.

When asked about his future, Dybala stated: "I would like to know something about my future too. As of today, the contract says that probably the derby will be the last match in front of Roma's fans. I haven't made any decision, but that's what the contract says. My idea is mine and I'll keep it to myself—we'll see what happens at the end." Despite uncertainty, Dybala's preference is to remain at Roma, and he has not seriously considered overtures from Boca Juniors. Head coach Gasperini expressed his desire to retain the Argentine: "He said he's leaving? Ah, 'by contract'... maybe, who knows. A shame not to have had him for so long this season."

No contact from other clubs has been confirmed, and contract renewal discussions are deferred until the end of the season, an approach that applies to multiple players in the squad.

La volontà di Paulo è di rimanere Redazione 11 maggio 2026 (modifica il 11 maggio 2026 | 09:06) L'ansia prima del rigore ha avvolto i tifosi della Roma e soprattutto Gasperini che ha vissuto quegli attimi come gran parte dei romanisti. Prima si è stretto al suo collaboratore Boccolini poi si è girato dall'altra parte. I giallorossi potranno continuare a sognare la Champions League. AI Tardini sì è rivisto Dybala dal primo minuto dopo 105 giorni. Tanti sorrisi nel finale, ma il volto di Paulo era più triste del solito. Il futuro - sottolinea Daniele Aloisi su 'Il Messaggero' - è ancora un rebus, il 30 giugno si avvicina e le parole di ieri sembrano d'addio:"Vorrei sapere anche io qualcosa sul mio futuro. A oggi il contratto dice che probabilmente il derby sarà l'ultima partita davanti ai tifosi della Roma. Non ho preso nessuna decisione, ma è quello che dice il contratto. La mia idea è mia e la tengo per me, vedremo alla fine che cosa succederà". Contatti non ce ne sono stati e il ‘no’ con la testa alla domanda se qualcuno si è fatto sentire lo certificano. La volontà di Paulo è di rimanere (non ha ancora preso in considerazione la proposta del Boca Juniors) e anche Gasperini lo terrebbe volentieri: "Ha detto che va via? Ah, 'da contratto'... magari, chi lo sa. Peccato non averlo avuto per così tanto tempo in questa stagione". Tutto rimandato a fine anno per parlare dei rinnovi, discorso che vale per tutti.Leggi anche Giuntoli all’Atalanta libera D’Amico.

Juventus Open to Selling Cambiaso as Como Circle Defender; Tottenham Target Udogie Monitored

Juventus are prepared to sell left-back Andrea Cambiaso, with Como among the interested parties. The 26-year-old has drawn attention from multiple Serie A clubs, though his market value has declined since attracting Manchester City interest in the past. Como plan European football next season and are prioritizing homegrown Italian players; alongside Cambiaso, they are tracking Lazio's Luca Pellegrini and Fiorentina's Fabiano Parisi. Roma's Lorenzo Venturino is also on Como's radar, along with Bologna's Nicolò Cambiaghi for other positions. Juventus value Cambiaso at approximately €40 million and will consider all offers, with his sale generating significant accounting gains given the €15.5 million amortization basis. Juventus have identified Tottenham's Destiny Udogie as a potential replacement should Cambiaso leave. The 23-year-old was previously tracked by the Serie A side during his time at Udinese, though Tottenham moved decisively to secure him. Luciano Spalletti called Udogie up for the Italian national team on several occasions. In the Premier League, Udogie has accumulated 2 goals and 5 assists across 92 appearances over three campaigns, though injuries have interrupted his spell in England. Additionally, Tottenham are reportedly considering Roma's Michele Di Gregorio as a possible backup option to their current goalkeeper.
