Malen secured, Hermoso renewed: now only Dybala's contract remains
Roma has completed the permanent acquisition of Donyell Malen and secured a contract renewal for Hermoso as part of efforts to strengthen the squad under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The club is operating with the ambition and efficiency expected of a Champions League side, moving quickly to finalize key decisions rather than delaying announcements. Both signings represent a commitment to building a competitive foundation for European football. The final piece in this consolidation phase is Paulo Dybala's contract extension. Although not yet official, negotiations are progressing and an agreement is expected soon. Roma is working toward a renewal that would keep Dybala at the club until 2027, giving the Argentine forward another year to compete at the highest level. The renewal has been described as important for the overall project, as it would complete the strengthening of the squad's core before Roma pursues additional reinforcements. Details of the timing and specific terms remain unclear, but a meeting to finalize Dybala's extension is anticipated in the coming days. The club's swift action on Malen and Hermoso signals a new approach under the Friedkin Group ownership, prioritizing clear planning and immediate execution to establish Roma as a genuine Champions League contender.
