Paulo Dybala in Talks for January Move to Galatasaray
Roma star Paulo Dybala has begun talks for a potential January move to Galatasaray, as the club considers letting him leave before the season ends.
Paulo Dybala, the Argentine star of AS Roma, is reportedly in negotiations for a January transfer to Galatasaray. According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, Dybala’s agent, Carlos Novel, met with Galatasaray officials earlier this week to discuss the potential deal.
Dybala’s current contract with Roma is set to expire at the end of this season. However, there is a clause in his agreement stating that if he participates in seven more matches this season, his contract will automatically extend for another year with a salary of €7 million. Despite this, Roma's management has shown little interest in retaining Dybala for the long term.
Galatasaray is keen on signing the 30-year-old forward to bolster their squad for the second half of the Turkish Super Lig and their European campaigns. Although negotiations have started, Dybala is reportedly hesitant about joining the Turkish club mid-season. He is awaiting a clear signal from Roma's management regarding their willingness to let him go.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Roma’s financial situation is a factor in their decision. Letting Dybala leave now would save the club a significant portion of his wages while opening opportunities to reshape the squad.
Dybala's final decision will depend on Roma's official stance and whether Galatasaray can provide a competitive offer that matches the player’s ambitions. As the January transfer window approaches, the football world will closely follow developments surrounding the future of one of Serie A’s most talented forwards.
