In the absence of Vinicius, Saudi Arabia activates plan B.
A new star of European football heading to the Gulf? This may be the case with Paulo Dybala. The AS Roma player is the subject of diligent courtship by the Saudi club Al-Qadsiah, promoted to the Saudi Pro League this season. On August 1, a contract of 20 million euros per season was offered to the player, refused a week later. But no matter, the Saudi leaders returned with an improved offer of 25 to 30 million euros per year.
According to the Sports Gazettethe player did not say yes, but is giving himself time to think about it. According to the Italian newspaper, the Argentine’s agent was in Rome on Tuesday to speak with his client, and this proposal was surely part of the agenda. The attacking midfielder had been left on the bench during the friendly against Everton last Saturday, and his coach, Daniele De Rossi, had not been kind when he was told about a possible departure: “Dybala? I’m not holding anyone back, whoever wants to leave is free to do so.” The paths of European football and the 2022 world champion seem to be separating, a bitter taste in the mouth when remembering his sparkling debut at Juventus.
Soon a new jewel in the kingdom, too bad for us.
