Dybala admits he’s unsure about future at Roma and drops La Liga, EPL hint

Roma star Paulo Dybala admits it is ‘difficult’ to see himself outside Italy but is’ curious’ to see how he’d do in La Liga or the Premier League.

Dybala has a year left in his contract at the Stadio Olimpico and his deal with Roma includes a €12m clause for clubs outside Serie A and a €20m transfer fee for Serie A sides.

During an interview with The Athletic, the Argentinean striker admitted that he’s unsure about his future with the Giallorossi.

Dybala admits Roma future uncertain

“I’ve been in Italy for almost 12 years and I’m having an incredible time. It’s difficult for me to see myself outside Italy because I grew up and became a man here,” he said.

“Italy has given me everything. It’d be hard to leave, but of course, you always have the curiosity and wonder how you’d do in leagues as good as La Liga and the Premier League, where there are great teams and great players.”

Recent reports in Italy have claimed that Roma directors are willing to sit down with Dybala and offer him to spread his salary onto a long-term deal.

Dybala has played a key role at Roma this season with 16 goals and 10 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions.

“Throughout my career, I’ve always tried to improve, on and off the pitch,” the Argentinean added.

“I’ve changed a lot of people on my staff; my trainer, nutritionist, psychologist; everything in order to help me perform better in every game and in training. I’ve felt good this year.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have a shot at everything. I’ve won. I’ve lost. The defeats in those European finals are my regrets. I haven’t won a Champions League or a Europa League but that’s always going to be my aim. I want to win all I can with Roma. Winning isn’t important, it’s the only thing that counts.”

Dybala’s reaction to Copa America snub

However, his convincing performance with Roma were not enough to earn a spot in the Argentina squad for the Copa America.

“I felt like I did some good things this year,” said the striker.

“I was confident about making the squad, so it was a very tough blow for me to take because being part of the national team is one of the best things ever. But I also understand that it’s hard for our coach to choose. We’ve got so many good players in teams all over Europe and he has to pick 26. I respect his decision. I’ve always told him that. I’ve got a great relationship with him and he has certainly chosen the best for the team.

“I’ll be cheering from home, as I always am when I’m not in the squad. I’ve got a lot of friends on the team and hope with all my heart they can win the Copa America again.”
