Fate fell hard on Paulo Dybala last season. Victim of a torn thigh on a free kick against Torino, then a hamstring on a penalty against Milan, the Argentinian went through a dark year, further aggravated by a knee problem poorly managed by the medical staff, ultimately forcing him to have an operation in March after the failure of conservative treatment.
After lengthy negotiations, Paulo Dybala finally made the choice of loyalty this summer by extending for one year with Roma. The Argentine striker accepted a clear reduction in his fixed salary, going from 8 to 2.2 million euros net, but compensated by significant bonuses linked to goals, assists and appearances which could restore his status as the best paid player in the locker room in the event of regularity. For example, in the event of matches lasting more than 45 minutes, he will be paid 100,000 euros. A reduction which will therefore force him to play more regularly with La Louve.
