AS Roma have wrapped up a summer highlight with news that will warm the hearts of their fans: Paulo Dybala will remain a Giallorosso until June 2027. The club announced on Monday, July 13, that the Argentine forward — now 32 — has signed a contract extension, tying him to the capital for another season.

What this means for Dybala and Roma

Dybala arrived at Roma in 2022 after seven years at Juventus and quickly became a key figure. Over four seasons, he made 139 appearances and scored 45 goals across all competitions, including a run to the Europa League final in his debut campaign. But last season was disrupted by injuries: he underwent knee surgery in March and missed nearly four months, raising doubts over his future at Trigoria.

Despite the physical setbacks, Roma finished third in Serie A with 73 points — 14 behind champions Inter — and secured a return to the Champions League for the first time since 2018-19. The team, riding a five-game winning streak and unbeaten in their last five matches (5W-0D-0L), is off to a strong start ahead of the new cycle.

Why this matters for the fans

For Romanisti, Dybala is more than a goalscorer — he’s a symbol of continuity. His extension buys breathing room this summer after key departures like Tammy Abraham and Rui Patrício. Last season, Roma scored 59 goals and conceded 31 (+28 goal difference), showing they can compete at the top level even with enforced absences.

Head coach Daniele De Rossi, fresh off a 5-0-0 start as manager, now has a fitter, motivated Dybala at his disposal. The Argentine, who celebrated Roma’s 2-0 win over Hellas Verona on May 24, 2026, aims to be decisive again as the club eyes European nights.

What happens next?

Roma open their new season on August 24 at home to Fiorentina. Before that, they face Cardiff City away on August 1 in a friendly tune-up ahead of their Champions League return. With Dybala locked in, the Giallorossi can face the future with greater confidence, knowing they have a proven leader up front.
