Dybala hints at Roma stay with social media clue

Paulo Dybala has moved to cool speculation over a January exit from Roma, and his wife appears to be on the same page.

The Argentine forward has been the subject of persistent rumours linking him with a mid-season return to Argentina, where Boca Juniors and close friend Leandro Paredes would welcome him with open arms.

With his contract expiring in June, there has been growing uncertainty over what comes next for La Joya.

However, on Monday, Dybala sent a clear message through his social channels, as reported by ForzaRoma.info.

The Roma star posted a training-ground photo on Instagram accompanied only by an “&”, tagging the club in the caption. The effect was intentional: “Dybala & Roma” – a pairing that, at least for now, he seems keen to underline rather than break apart.

The post immediately lit up among supporters, raising hopes he intends to stay until the end of the season and potentially beyond. Roma’s official account replied with a fire emoji, while teammate Matías Soulé added “Que fachero” – roughly, “Looking sharp.”

The most telling reaction, however, came from Oriana Sabatini. Dybala’s wife commented “Aiaaa”, a playful sign that she too appreciated the significance of the message and perhaps the timing, given the recent speculation.

Roma continue to work on contract scenarios for the summer, but for the moment Dybala’s gesture reads as a public vote of commitment, and a small, symbolic blow to the Boca rumours.
