Despite interest from many different regions, the Argentinian forward could be set to remain in Italy if Jose Mourinho gets his way. The AS Roma manager is reportedly keen on Dybala and has made the former Juve star a top priority.

His Rome side are coming off the back of an impressive end to the 2021-22 campaign in which they won the inaugural UEFA Europa Conference League. Mourinho seemingly has big plans for Roma and a move for Dybala, who has had success in Serie A, could play a huge part in that.

Roma are aware of Dybala's salary demands of €8 million per season and could make an exception for the star player. Club legend Francesco Totti has also reportedly tried to convince the Argentine to move to the Olimpico.

Dybala was a huge hit at Juventus, making 293 appearances and scoring 115 goals and giving 48 assists. The 28-year-old won five Serie A titles and four Coppa Italia during his seven years in Turin.


A look at Paulo Dybala's club career timeline so far

Paulo Dybala graduated from the academy of Argentina Primera Division club Instituto in 2011 and played for the first team till 2012, scoring 17 goals in 40 games. He also broke Argentine legend Mario Kempes' record for being the club's youngest ever goalscorer at age 17.

He later joined then Serie B club Palermo the same year for a reported €11.9 million, with the club's president Maurizio Zamparini announcing the transfer by saying (as per UEFA's official website):

"We have got Paulo Dybala – the new Sergio Agüero."

La Joya played 93 games across competitions for I Rosanero, scoring 21 goals and giving 16 assists and winning 2013-14 Serie B title, helping them get promoted to Serie A. Unsurprisingly, Juventus came calling and bought Dybala in 2015 for a reported €41 million.

After a seven-year fruitful spell at Juventus as mentioned above, Dybala now is looking for a new club.
