Reports in Italy and Argentina claim Roma have worked out a way of meeting Paulo Dybala’s salary demands, but he is still waiting for Inter’s proposal before making a decision.
La Joya is a free agent from June 30 when his contract with Juventus is allowed to expire.
Although there is interest from the Premier League, such as Arsenal, Manchester United and Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, Dybala seems eager to remain in Serie A after so many years with Juventus and before that Palermo.
According to TyC Sports, Roma and Jose Mourinho are trying to convince the Argentina international to be part of their project, having just won the Conference League.
There are two main drawbacks, the first is that they will only play in the Europa League next season rather than the Champions League, the other their salary cap.
Now the Corriere dello Sport maintains Giallorossi director Tiago Pinto has calculated a way of reaching the €7m per season wage demands by offering €5m plus bonuses that will climb as the contract goes on.
It is not dissimilar to the proposal Inter are planning, but have not yet put forward.
After being pushed out of Juventus, the player above all wants somewhere he feels appreciated.
All these sources warn a quick decision is unlikely, as Dybala will take at least two to four weeks in order to evaluate all the offers and make his choice.
