Why did Dybala reject the huge offer?
The 30-year-old Argentine star, Dybala, is also a 2022 World Cup winner. He still has a contract with AS Roma until June 2025. However, the Rome club's leadership wants to part with this star to collect a fee of about 12 million euros (the amount of the contract termination fee) to balance the budget. They have accepted the offer from Saudi Arabia's Al Qadsiah Club.
The love of AS Roma fans convinced Dybala to reject a huge salary
The team that was just promoted to the Saudi Pro League for the 2024-2025 season also made an extremely generous offer to Dybala personally, with a total salary of up to 75 million euros for 3 seasons. This salary is many times higher than the Argentine star is receiving at the Rome team.
However, according to the Argentine press, Dybala does not want to go to Saudi Arabia because of the possibility of not being able to play for the national team in the future. In addition, he also wants to play in Europe in a top football environment. However, the AS Roma leadership still pressured Dybala to leave.
When the transfer deal was about to take place and was completed on August 23, AS Roma fans reacted strongly, they followed Dybala as he left the training ground, asking him to stay at the team. Coach Daniele De Rossi also declared that he wanted Dybala to stay.
In response to requests from fans and coach Daniele De Rossi, Dybala decided at the last minute to reject the move to Al Qadsiah and continue to stay at AS Roma. According to the Italian press, this was a victory for AS Roma fans against the club's American owners, the billionaire Dan Friedkin family, who wanted to sell their best star.
In the 2024-2025 season, AS Roma spent heavily in the transfer market when recruiting striker Artem Dovbyk from Girona for 30.5 million euros and Matias Soule from Juventus (26 million euros). But Dybala is considered the soul of the club, after the previous 2 seasons he played and left many impressions (scoring 34 goals in 78 matches).
