Dybala offered €25m a year by Saudi club

Al-Qadsiah have been pushing in recent hours to secure the services of Argentinian Paulo Dybala with a multi-million dollar offer that tempts both parties.

A meeting between the player's agents and the Saudi club in the Italian capital, which has been allowed by Roma, has set off alarm bells for fans of the Italian club, who do not want to lose their best player just three days before Serie A kicks off.

The Argentine had already received a proposal in early August for a fee of around 20 million euros per season, which he turned down to stay at the Roman club.

However, the substitution against Everton in the last friendly of the season and a new offer from Al-Qadsiah, which would be around 25 million per season, have changed the panorama in favour of the Saudi team.

Dybala's contract with Roma, which expires in 2025, comes into play here. This year he will be paid €7.5m plus two in variables, almost double the salary on which he arrived from Juventus in 2022.

Dybala, who has not decided at this stage, has made 77 appearances for Roma since his arrival, scoring 34 goals and assisting 18, and has established himself as the key player in the team coached by Portuguese Jose Mourinho and now coached by legend Daniele De Rossi.
