Paulo Dybala has revealed he has received no contact from Roma regarding a contract renewal, confirming that next weekend’s derby against Lazio will be his final home appearance for the club if no agreement is reached, after Roma’s stunning 3-2 comeback win at Parma kept their Champions League hopes alive.
According to comments made to Sky Sport after the match, via LaRoma24, Dybala was candid about his uncertain future.
“I would like to know my future too,” he said. “The contract ends in two matches. The derby, as my contract states, will be my last match in front of our fans.”
Roma must win against their arch-rivals to keep their race for Champions League football alive, with the teams chasing a place in Europe’s premier competition all close together with just two weekends left.
Juventus, Milan, Roma and Como are all within just three points of one another, with just two able to take their place in the top four.
Napoli are in a good position and can all-but guarantee their spot if they beat Bologna on Monday evening.
Dybala future unresolved as Roma chase Champions League with final-day drama
Asked directly whether the club had been in touch, Dybala’s answer was brief and telling. “No,” he said.
The Argentine’s situation casts a long shadow over a remarkable evening for Roma, who trailed before fighting back to win through a Donyell Malen penalty in the 101st minute, a result that temporarily lifts them level with Milan on 67 points in fourth place, with the Rossoneri facing Atalanta later on Sunday.
Dybala was characteristically generous in deflecting individual focus back onto the collective.
“This is a team that gives everything until the end,” he said. “We know Champions League qualification does not depend only on us, but we will fight until the last moment.”
