Seeing Paulo Dybala wearing Boca Juniors’ blue and gold shirt in 2026 is now the biggest dream among the Xeneize faithful. Everything gained momentum when Leandro Paredes revealed that the “Joya” is a Boca fan and that he wanted to convince him to play together. Since then, the rumors have only grown… and like a monk, club president Juan Román Riquelme has been working quietly, behind the scenes.

⏳ An Uncertain Future in Europe

At present, Dybala is under contract with Roma until June of next season. His continuity with the Italian club remains uncertain: there has been no renewal offer so far, and Boca are closely monitoring every development. Meanwhile, at Brandsen 805, the club’s headquarters, the steps have already been mapped out in case of a possible return to Argentina.

💰 The Contract Is Already Prepared

According to journalist Facundo Pérez on D Sports Radio, Boca have already prepared Paulo Dybala’s contract. In recent months, the club managed to offload major contracts such as Sergio Romero, Marcos Rojo, and Frank Fabra, giving the board financial room to define the striker’s salary.

📞 Riquelme Wants No Surprises

At Boca, there is no desire to improvise if the call comes sooner than expected. That is why the president has already “set aside” the money for the “Joya” and designed all the necessary financial and sporting structure for the moment when the Roma player decides to arrive and join Paredes. Everything is ready. Only the protagonist’s decision is missing.

🗣️ The Official Word From Boca

For the first time in a long while, the club addressed the topic publicly. Marcelo “Chelo” Delgado, Boca’s football director, was clear but cautious:

“I think it’s a mix of everything. Hopefully we can make the effort, regardless of whether the possibility exists to try and make it happen.”

📻 Patience and Waiting

Speaking to Radio La Red, Delgado added:

“The only thing I know is that his contract expires in June next year. After that, it will be evaluated and we’ll see what happens.”

👀 The Dream Is Alive

At Boca, their part is already done. The contract is prepared, the money is reserved, and expectations continue to grow. Now, all eyes are on Dybala… will the phone ring? 💙💛

⚠️ Injuries, a Key Factor to Consider

One factor that also plays a role in any assessment of Dybala’s arrival is his injury history. In recent years, the Argentine has suffered multiple physical setbacks that kept him sidelined for long periods, including a tendon tear in March 2025 that ruled him out for more than 100 days, as well as several muscle and thigh injuries in recent seasons. His career record includes ligament injuries, muscle problems, knee trauma, and muscular fatigue, as documented by Transfermarkt, resulting in numerous absences throughout his professional career.
