Jose Mourinho Leaves, Paulo Dybala Remains Committed To AS Roma
JAKARTA - Striker Paulo Dybala expressed his commitment to AS Roma. He will not leave after the dismissal of coach Jose Murinho.
Dybala came to Rome because of Mourinho. It was the former Inter Milan coach who wanted Dybala who was playing at Juventus.
The Argentine national team striker finally left Juve to join the Giallorossi in July 2022. When Mourinho was dismissed, Dybala was said to be leaving Rome.
Moreover, the club opened Dybala's release clause which was only 12 million euros. The fee is not large and European elite clubs such as Manchester United can easily redeem it.
Moreover, MU had indeed targeted Dybala when he was still at Juve. Right now, MU needs a forward.
Fans Roma were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because no club had redeemed Dybala until the deadline for the release clause was on January 15, 2024. However, this does not guarantee La Joya will stay in Rome.
Fan concerns finally broke after Dybala stated that he remained committed to Rome. He will not leave and fulfill the contract until June 30, 2025.
Not only that, Dybala also opened the option of extending the contract for another year. However, negotiations cannot be carried out until the club already has a new sporting director.
