“Dybala on his way to Boca Juniors after the 2026 World Cup.”

Paulo Dybala is set to star in the transfer of the year in Argentine football! According to hot information coming directly from Argentina, the star who shone at Juventus and currently wears the Roma jersey has a preliminary agreement to return to his country and defend the colors of Boca Juniors as soon as the European season of 2025-26 comes to an end. This news promises to shake up the market and excite Boca Juniors fans, eager to see La Joya back at the Bombonera.

According to ESPN Argentina journalist Leo Paradizo, “We are in a position to say that Paulo Dybala will play for Boca in the next semester. There is a preliminary agreement, there is a contract, and after the World Cup, he will return to Argentine football to wear Boca’s jersey.” The confirmation of this pact stirs the football landscape, as Dybala, 32, has been limited by injuries this season, making only 18 appearances in Serie A, 12 of them as a starter.

Dybala’s current contract with Roma runs until June 30, 2026, and both in Italy and Argentina, there are rumors that the player is seriously tempted to return to his homeland to join the giant Boca Juniors. In Italy, the press reveals that coach Gian Piero Gasperini wants to keep the Argentine in the team, but will only do so if Dybala agrees to a significant pay cut from the 8 million euros per year he currently earns.

In a recent interview with Argentine journalist Joaquín Álvarez, Dybala left the door ajar for a return: “It would be nice, you never know. Today I play for Roma, I have to defend this shirt, but you never know.” His personal connection to the Boca Juniors is further strengthened by his close friendship with Leonardo Paredes, Boca’s midfielder and former teammate at Roma. Dybala confided: “I receive messages from Lea and Cami, his wife, who has a great relationship with my wife, Oriana, and we are always in contact.”

Paredes’ farewell from Roma was a very emotional moment: “Since he left, it was a very sad day for us, because of the relationship we had with his family, because of what we shared in our daily lives. For Oriana too. Now we get together much less, so we talk a lot about this.”

With all this involvement and the agreement already in an advanced stage, Paulo Dybala’s return to Boca Juniors is an imminent reality that promises to reignite the passion of Argentine fans and mark South American football in the coming years. The anticipation is extremely high, and the football world is eager to see how La Joya will shine again at La Bombonera!
