OFFICIAL: Roma announce the signing of Dybala

Official, confirmed. Paulo Dybala has joined AS Roma on free transfer with contract valid until June 2025 that will also include a release clause. 

José Mourinho has been key factor to complete this huge signing for Roma.

The Italian capital-based club were in a three-way tussle with Napoli and Inter Milan to secure the 28-year-old's services after he left Juventus as a free agent at the end of last month.

The Argentina international's deal will be until 2025 and worth £5million (€6m) a year, including bonuses, at the Stadio Olimpico.

Dybala flew to Portugal earlier this week - where Roma are currently on pre-season - to complete his medical before joining up with Mourinho and his new team-mates.

Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Portuguese manager personally spoke with Dybala on the phone a week ago to convince him to join.

It appears that conversation was crucial to Dybala as Mourinho explained Roma's project to him.

It seemed Dybala was set for a move to last season's Serie A runners-up Inter Milan.

However, that move was later scuppered due to the requests from Dybala's agent and their need to sell either Edin Dzeko or Joaquin Correa after Romelu Lukaku's arrival.

The delay opened the door for Roma, with Mourinho pushing hard to seal the move for the five-time Serie A winner.

It continues the Italian side's push to complete their business early in the transfer window, with Zeki Celik, Nemanja Matic and Mile Svilar having already come through the door.
