The future of Paulo Dybala isn\u2019t yet completely decided, but Roma have started keeping tabs on a few attackers to potentially replace him, and they are keen on Sergio Arribas, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.<\/p>\n
The Giallorossi<\/em> hierarchy is split on what to do with La Joya<\/em>. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini would like to retain him. He hopes the management will find a way to reach an agreement on a new contract. It remains to be seen whether the officials will comply and if the parties will find some common ground on the numbers.<\/p>\n Despite some chatter, Boca Juniors remain the frontrunners should Dybala leave Roma, while the capital club has stepped up its monitoring of Arribas.<\/p>\n The attacker has blossomed with Almeria in La Liga 2, totaling 20 goals and 7 assists in 33 appearances, basically doubling last season\u2019s tallies. He grew up in Real Madrid\u2019s youth academy and departed for \u20ac6M in 2023. He has hit the net 9 times and provided 4 helpers in 44 top-flight matches.<\/p>\n Things always tend to be dramatic and go down to the wire with the former. He would already be in advanced talks with another side if his exit were a fait accompli already. The coach\u2019s stance is understandable, as he likes to have as much firepower as possible. Instead, the front office has to weigh that against the player\u2019s age, salary, and injury history. A significant pay cut isn\u2019t common in today\u2019s football, but the Argentine wouldn\u2019t be new to unusual decisions. It also shouldn\u2019t be forgotten that his salary was rather low in his first couple of years in the Eternal City.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Roma, Dybala, and Arribas<\/h3>\n
