True love story! Dybala sacrifices millions to stay at Roma
Paulo Dybala has once again proven that money means nothing to him compared to his love for Roma.
Details: According to Polymarket Sports, Paulo Dybala reduced his salary by 60% to remain at Roma. The Argentine also received a curious incentive: he will collect a €1 million bonus if he reaches 30 combined goals and assists this season. La Joya has already started working on that target, delivering 3 assists in the opening Serie A match.
In the opening round, the Giallorossi demolished Fiorentina 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico: Donyell Malen scored a hat-trick with all three goals set up by Dybala, while Niccolò Pisilli added a late fourth. The Argentine extended his contract back in July, agreeing to cut his wages from €8 million to around €2.5 million plus bonuses, with the new deal running until 2027 and including an option for another year. Despite interest from Boca Juniors, the 32-year-old chose to stay in the Italian capital, where Gian Piero Gasperini views him as one of the cornerstones of his project.
With the Champions League returning to the Olimpico, Roma's ambitions are sky-high, and their talisman looks as motivated as ever. It's worth noting that last season it was Dybala's brilliant end-of-season run that dragged the Giallorossi back into Europe's elite competition.
Reminder: Reinforcement from Turkey! Roma to sign Fenerbahce player.
