In recent days, Paulo Dybala has been linked with Benfica, who are looking for a reliable replacement following the departure of Ángel Di María. The interest from the Lisbon-based team has raised concerns in Roma, where they fear losing one of their most disruptive players.

The potential departure of the Argentine would be a significant setback for Gasperini's team. Dybala plays a crucial role in Roma's attack, and his exit would create a difficult void to fill, even though the club is banking on Matías Soulé's progression as a potential medium-term replacement. Apart from Benfica, other clubs like Atalanta are also monitoring the situation of the former Juventus player.

It all depends on Roma

However, despite the media frenzy, there are no advanced negotiations between Benfica and the player's representatives. This is confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, who rules out any imminent agreement between the two parties. For now, Roma still considers the Argentine a key piece for their ambitions in the newly started season.

The management of the capital club is projecting calmness, though they do not hide the fact that 'La Joya's' future could change at any moment if an irresistible offer surfaces. At present, the striker seems focused on his role with the 'giallorossi', but his name will continue to be in the spotlight in the upcoming weeks of the transfer market.
