Dybala reportedly approached young midfielder Lazaro about representation through consulting agency

Source: Forza Roma

Jeremías Lazaro, a 2004-born midfielder at Argentine club Instituto Córdoba, revealed that Paulo Dybala contacted him via video call through a mutual connection to offer representation services. Lazaro declined the offer, as he had already signed with another agent, but praised Dybala for providing advice during a period when he was playing little. Lazaro said of their conversation: "With him I had a chat, we spoke on Instagram, I made a video call with him because, well, he wanted to be my representative. But I had already signed with my current agent. Obviously we remained on excellent terms, there's a desire to meet at some point, which will surely happen. But I'm really happy because he's a fantastic person. He gave me a lot of advice and, honestly, talking to him reassured me."

Dybala founded a Milan-based consulting firm called La Favorita srl over two years ago, which manages athlete image rights, endorsements, and intellectual property across multiple platforms including artificial intelligence and blockchain-based assets like NFTs. The venture reflects Dybala's broader business interests beyond his playing career at Roma, similar to how Francesco Totti established his own management company. The arrangement shows Dybala is actively building a portfolio in sports representation and consulting, positioning himself for post-playing opportunities in football management and athlete advocacy.

Il calciatore classe 2004 dell'Instituto Cordoba racconta la chiacchierata con la Joya e la sua proposta che è stato costretto a declinare. Due anni fa Dybala ha fondato una società di consulenza Redazione 6 giugno - 22:51 Greenwood, il sogno di Gasperini per alzare il livello e vincere subito I tifosi della Roma, così come tutti gli appassionati di calcio, se lo stanno godendo in campo con le sue giocate tornate decisive. E sperano di festeggiare presto anche il suo rinnovo di contratto. Ma ogni calciatore, compreso Paulo Dybala, pensa inevitabilmente anche al 'dopo'. Una volta appesi gli scarpini al chiodo, se continuare nel calcio magari come allenatore, dirigente o anche scout. Oppure procuratore, o imprenditore legato alla gestione degli atleti. In questo senso è curiosa la rivelazione di Jeremias Lazaro, centrocampista classe 2004 dell'Instituto Cordoba, squadra argentina in cui la Joya è nata e sbocciata prima di arrivare in Italia. In una intervista per 'Estacion Roja y Blanca', il calciatore ha raccontato la sua chiacchierata proprio con Dybala: "Uno che sogno di emulare è proprio Paulo ed è molto bello il fatto che ci sia un legame tra noi due. Tra l'altro quando ho segnato il gol all'Estudiantes RC ho pensato a lui, quando segnò quella rete su punizione contro il Chacarita. Quel giorno ero in tribuna". Era il 20 marzo 2012 e Lazaro aveva appena 8 anni, crescendo e sognando di fare come lui un giorno. "Con lui ho fatto una chiacchierata, ci siamo sentiti su Instagram, ho fatto una videochiamata con lui perché, beh, voleva essere il mio rappresentante. Ma io avevo già firmato con il mio procuratore attuale. Ovviamente siamo rimasti in ottimi rapporti, c'è il desiderio di incontrarci prima o poi, cosa che sicuramente accadrà. Ma sono davvero felice perché è una persona fantastica. Mi ha dato molti consigli e, onestamente, parlare con lui mi ha tranquillizzato", ha raccontato Lazaro. A cui poi è stato chiesto se secondo lui tornerà prima o poi all'Instituto: "Non c'è molto che io possa fare al riguardo, no? Perché i tifosi dell'Instituto sperano che torni qui e che possa giocare in prima divisione, cosa che non ha potuto fare all'epoca, e onestamente, per noi, sarebbe qualcosa di veramente meraviglioso per la gente di Córdoba, per i tifosi del club. Sarebbe straordinario". Il classe 2004 spiega poi come è nata la telefonata col giocatore della Roma: "Nahuel Ruiz (amico di vecchia data di Paulo, ndr) ha parlato con me. L'ho incontrato personalmente e Nahuel ha organizzato una videochiamata con me. Con Paulo abbiamo parlato un po', per sapere come stavo, perché in quel periodo non giocavo molto, ed è per questo che ti dico che mi ha dato molti consigli sul mio stato mentale. Ero completamente fuori di me perché non giocavo nemmeno un minuto in prima squadra e tutto il resto, penso che mi abbia davvero tranquillizzato. Ho la chat lì, e poi un lungo messaggio in cui lo ringrazio per tutto". Getty Images Dybala e l'agenzia di consulenza fondata a Milano: di cosa si occupaIn realtà non è una novità che Paulo Dybala abbia investito in questo tipo di attività. Più di due anni fa l'argentino ha fondato (oltre a una società immobiliare) a Milano anche La Favorita srl, una società che ha per oggetto "l’acquisizione, lo sfruttamento e la gestione, sia a fini pubblicitari che commerciali, in Italia come all’estero, dei diritti patrimoniali legati all’immagine, al nome, alla voce e dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale di sportivi e personaggi dello spettacolo mediante l’utilizzo e l’impiego di qualunque mezzo e strumento (ivi inclusa l’intelligenza artificiale) ed attraverso qualsiasi modalità, nonché l’attività di assistenza nella stipula dei relativi contratti; la prestazione di servizi, management, consulenza, e tutte le attività connesse". Inoltre è previsto “lo sviluppo, la realizzazione e la distribuzione di cripto attività, ad esempio nft e token, attinenti allo sfruttamento dei diritti attraverso l’uso di tecnologia blockchain”. In sostanza Paulo Dybala è già entrato a far parte del mondo della consulenza, soprattutto come imprenditore. Ma la parte sportiva, quasi da scout - un po' come era accaduto a Francesco Totti con la sua CT10 Management - resta un aspetto fondamentale della sua attività, presente o futura, a cui partecipare in prima persona. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura News AS Roma D'Amico-Roma all'ultimo step.

D'Amico Deal Nears Final Stage; Greenwood Price Tag €55 Million, Paixão as Backup Plan

AS Roma's pursuit of a new sporting director is approaching conclusion. Tony D'Amico is currently in Bergamo negotiating the termination of his contract with Atalanta, a necessary step before he can officially join Roma as director of sport. The two clubs have yet to reach full agreement, however, with D'Amico expected to forfeit certain monthly payments as part of the exit deal. Atalanta president Luca Percassi is reportedly unwilling to expedite the arrangement, which may delay D'Amico's arrival at Roma until 1 July, when he will gain full decision-making authority at the club. Meanwhile, head coach Gian Piero Gasperini continues to pursue English winger Mason Greenwood as a primary transfer target. Marseille has set Greenwood's asking price at €55 million. Should that move prove unfeasible, Roma has identified Peixoto (referred to as Paixão in transfer discussions) as a backup option. Complications have also emerged at Fenerbahçe, where uncertainty surrounds which of two candidates will secure the English player's signature.

Angeloni rules out Roma move, commits future to Fiorentina

Valentino Angeloni, head of Fiorentina's youth academy, has publicly distanced himself from a potential move to AS Roma. Speaking at the Serie A Festival in Parma, Angeloni made clear his intention to remain in Florence and focus on his work with the club's leadership. Roma had been searching for a new youth sector director following the departure of Claudio Ranieri and the collapse of an agreement with Massimo Tarantino. Angeloni's rejection eliminates one of the primary candidates on Roma's shortlist, which also included Frara. Despite acknowledging Roma's prestige and his personal connection to the capital—he was born in Rome and played for Roma as a child—Angeloni emphasized his commitment to Fiorentina's project. He stated: "I'm staying in Florence, and that's my wish. The Roma rumours are flattering, of course—I was born in Rome and played as a child at Roma with Anzalone, it's an important club, but so is Fiorentina and I'm focused on what I've done, must do, and will do here. I'm working with Paratici and his entire department on Fiorentina's future. I'm very focused on what I'm doing, I like it very much, in a fantastic environment." The development marks another setback in Roma's efforts to rebuild their youth academy structure after recent managerial transitions.

Roma closing in on D'Amico as sporting director as Atalanta exit negotiations advance

Tony D'Amico is in Bergamo negotiating the termination of his contract with Atalanta, bringing his move to Roma as sporting director closer. The agreement between D'Amico and the Giallorossi has been delayed by outstanding financial matters with the Nerazzurri, who removed him from his position roughly a week ago and appointed Cristiano Giuntoli as his replacement. Once the resolution is finalized, D'Amico will officially join head coach Gian Piero Gasperini at Trigoria. D'Amico's immediate priorities at Roma include negotiating contract renewals for Çelik, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Paulo Dybala. The club must also address Financial Fair Play compliance and capital gains requirements by 30 June, though the deadline could potentially be extended to 30 June 2027 through agreement with UEFA, allowing Roma to defer certain accounting obligations. This flexibility could help the club avoid selling key squad members during the current transfer window and instead register incoming revenue from Champions League participation in the next financial year. Gasperini's preferred target for recruitment is Mason Greenwood, though additional signings are expected beyond that single acquisition. The incoming sporting director will oversee all these matters alongside the club's broader transfer strategy.

Roma's announcement of D'Amico delayed again as final details with Atalanta resolved

Roma's announcement of Tony D'Amico as a new staff member continues to be delayed, though an official statement is expected soon. D'Amico remains in Bergamo finalizing the last details with Atalanta. Roma will not be required to pay any release clause to secure the executive, and optimism surrounds the move. Once the official announcement arrives, Roma will request a regulatory waiver to allow D'Amico to begin work immediately, given the workload ahead. D'Amico's first priority will be contract renewals for Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Çelik. The club also aims to complete player departures before the 30 June deadline. Ziolkowski may leave the club, while reports of Inter pursuing Gianluca Mancini have been dismissed. Mancini is keen to remain at Roma and is close to signing a contract extension through 2029. Details remain unclear on the exact timeline for the announcement, though Roma's expectation is that it will arrive within the coming days.

Frattesi Under Roma Consideration as Potential Koné Replacement

Roma are monitoring Davide Frattesi as a potential midfield target, with head coach Gian Piero Gasperini viewing him as a possible replacement should Koné depart. Frattesi, currently at Inter, is expected to leave the club this summer. He came through Roma's youth academy and previously came close to joining the club in 2023 before Inter secured him from Sassuolo. His contract at Inter runs until 2028, though his valuation has decreased in recent years — Inter previously sought €35 million but that asking price is no longer in play. There are currently no direct contacts between Roma and the player. Gasperini reportedly holds Frattesi in high regard and sees him as a suitable option if Roma lose Koné. The French midfielder is considered among the club's potential departures this summer. However, Roma's primary defensive focus remains on contract extensions rather than outgoings, with Gianluca Mancini close to securing a new deal through 2029 with an option until 2030. Mancini is central to Gasperini's plans and has no intention of leaving. No player swap involving Mancini is being considered. Gasperini has requested contract extensions for several key players including Bryan Cristante, Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, and Celik as the squad is built around his trusted core for the upcoming season. Further developments regarding Frattesi's potential transfer are expected soon.
