The Catalan club has once again shown interest in one of the footballers they have been following closely in recent years.

FC Barcelona could be close to an unexpected change in the attacking line with the signing of a name that has long been in the club’s spotlight: Paulo Dybala. According to sources close to the club, the sports management is seriously considering the possibility of signing the current AS Roma player, who only has one year left on his contract – which could make the transfer a low-cost operation.

Laporta’s dream signing

The 31-year-old Argentine striker has long been a wish of President Joan Laporta, who sees him as an ideal profile to bring both talent and experience to the project. Dybala is willing to accept a supporting role under Hansi Flick, either as a game-changer or substitute in important matches. This willingness, combined with his ability to play in multiple attacking positions (as an attacking midfielder, winger or even striker), makes him a versatile and valuable option for the German coach.

Financial challenges – but willingness to adapt

The only obstacle that could threaten the transfer is the player salary, which is significantly higher than Barcelona’s current average. But from the player community, there is a willingness to adapt to the club’s financial framework – especially if it means a jump to a giant like Barça.

With La Joya (“The Jewel”), Barça will gain quality, game understanding and goals in the crucial meters – something Flick particularly appreciates. While waiting for official confirmation, the transfer appears to be a realistic and affordable option in a market where the Catalan club needs to strengthen without major expenses. Dybala, with his experience and talent, can fit perfectly into that picture.
