Dybala Contract Negotiations with Roma Intensify Amid Premier League Interest

Roma and Paulo Dybala are locked in a delicate contract dance that is edging into a decisive phase, with the Premier League watching from the wings.

According to reporting from David Ornstein and James Horncastle of The Athletic, talks over La Joya’s renewal at Roma are very much alive. The club have already put a proposal on the table to Dybala’s entourage, headed by Carlos Novel. That opening offer was turned down, prompting a counter from the Argentine’s camp.

So the ball is back in Roma’s court.

The negotiations are now finely poised: both sides clearly want clarity, but neither appears ready to fold first on key terms. Roma know Dybala remains one of the most gifted match-winners in Serie A when fit. Dybala, for his part, knows his value in a market short on genuine difference-makers.

Hovering over all of this is interest from England. One Premier League club is closely tracking the situation and is prepared to move if talks in the capital break down. No bidding war yet, no public posturing — just a clear message: if Roma cannot close this, someone else is ready to try.

For now, the story stays in Rome. The next offer, or the next refusal, will decide whether it remains that way.
