“Dybala may leave Roma and fulfill his promise to Boca Juniors.”

Paulo Dybala may be on the verge of a dramatic return to Argentina, but with a storyline worthy of the greatest dramas in world football! The mother of the forward’s wife, Catherine Fulop, has dropped a bombshell that stirs speculation about the star’s future: despite his declared love for AS Roma, Dybala is said to have made a significant promise that could see him don the iconic Boca Juniors jersey, a club that is a family dream!

The truth is that the Argentine’s future is completely uncertain. Dybala’s contract with Roma expires on July 1, and so far, there are no signs of renewal. Rumors of a departure are increasing, and in Buenos Aires, there is already confident talk that “La Joya’s” next destination will indeed be Boca Juniors. But what makes this possibility even more irresistible are the words of his wife’s mother, Oriana, who revealed personal and emotional details explaining this potential transfer.

“He loves Roma, he loves the club, and I think Roma loves him very much too. That would be the first scenario, to stay there,” Catherine Fulop stated in an interview with Urbana Play via TyC Sports. However, Dybala’s wife’s mother does not hide the promise made by the forward to his father: “Paulo promised his father that one day he would wear the Boca Juniors jersey; it was a dream instilled in him by his father, and he wants to fulfill that dream.”

This family commitment, coupled with the recent birth of the couple’s daughter, Gia, could favor a return to Argentina, a decision that would make perfect sense to be closer to family. Catherine does not hide her happiness at this possibility: “I would be happy if they come to Buenos Aires, of course.”

However, the story has a curious twist. Oriana’s father, and therefore Dybala’s father-in-law, is a fervent supporter of River Plate, Boca Juniors’ historic rival. “This is complicated because he doesn’t miss a single River game,” revealed Catherine, highlighting the family tension that may accompany this transfer.

At 32 years old, Paulo Dybala left Argentina at a young age, having started his professional career at Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba before moving to Palermo in 2012. He joined Juventus in 2015 and arrived at Roma in 2022 as a free agent. He has never represented an Argentine club other than Instituto, making this potential return a decision laden with emotion and symbolism.

Stay tuned, as the summer promises to be hot in the transfer market, with Dybala at the center of all attention. Will his love for Boca Juniors and the promise to his late father finally dictate the star’s destiny? Or will Roma, who adore him, manage to keep him? The answer is forthcoming, but one thing is certain: Paulo Dybala’s future will be one of the major topics in world football in the coming weeks!
