Jakarta –
Paulo Dybala close to AS Roma and just waiting for the announcement. He was reportedly presented with the legendary number 10 jersey relic Francesco Totti. Dare you?
Paulo Dybala has reportedly agreed to join AS Roma. Released player Juventus this summer received a three-year contract proposal, with a salary of 6 million euros per year.
On social media, photos of Dybala landing in Portugal to join his new team have been circulating. Giallorossi indeed held a pre-season tour in the country of the coach, Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho had a big role in convincing Dybala to join. The 59-year-old coach had previously reportedly called Dybala directly and explained his project.
Another influential figure is Francesco Totti, who really admires the former Palermo player. The Roma legend has also reportedly been in contact with Dybala, even inviting the Argentine striker to wear his legacy number 10 jersey.
Since Totti retired, the number 10 jersey has not been used. There was a discussion that Roma should retire the number, but that has never happened until now. Even when the number was available, no one ever dared to use it including current captain Lorenzo Pellegrini.
Top Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio said that Dybala was also reluctant to wear the number. It is believed that he will use the number 21 jersey, which was used by Nemanja Matic. Matic himself did not mind changing to number eight.
The certainty of Paulo Dybala’s jersey number is expected to be revealed shortly after AS Roma officially announced him as a new recruit later.
