Recent reports suggest that Paulo Dybala will switch from Roma to Boca Juniors in the summer, which means La Joya will be one of the stars to watch in the Superclasico against River Plate in 2026-27.
Dybala’s Roma contract expires at the end of the season, and it is no secret that the Argentine star, a 2022 World Cup winner, is attracted by the idea of playing for Boca Juniors one day.

His possible move to the Bombonera will likely have a big impact on Bet on Superclasico, as Dybala has been one of the best players in Serie A and across Europe in the last decade.
The exciting attacker has scored 131 goals in 366 Serie A matches playing for Palermo, Juventus and Roma in Italy’s top flight.
His latest season at the Stadio Olimpico has been marred by injuries, limiting him to just 23 appearances across all competitions and three goals.
Nevertheless, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini is reportedly willing to keep the Argentine at the Stadio Olimpico for at least one more season, prompting the club to offer him a new deal.

Dybala joined Roma on a free transfer from Juventus in the summer of 2022 and has scored 45 goals in 136 games with the Giallorossi.
Gasperini has often praised Dybala in the current campaign, especially in the first half, when the Argentine was deployed as a false nine before Donyell Malen’s move from Aston Villa.
“Playing as an attacking midfielder can become complicated when he has his physical troubles, as we’ve unfortunately discovered over this period,” Gasp said at the end of December 2025.
“I’ve always hoped to have him and have counted on him, because the value of our team increases when he is in that position. The whole attack benefits.

“It’s difficult to come across another player of (Dybala’s) quality. If he has problems, there aren’t really any like-for-like replacements.

“If [Evan] Ferguson wants to take a step forward, remembering that he is 21 years old and still very young, he has to improve not on his technical level, but on that hunger, desire, understanding where he plays and how to make the most out of his weapons.”

Dybala has recently admitted that he’d love to play for Boca Juniors in the future, where he’d reunite with his friend and former teammate Leandro Paredes.
“It would be fantastic,” he said (via SportMediaset).
“Today I play for Roma, and I have to defend this shirt, but you never know what might happen.”
Dybala has only played at the club level in Argentina and Italy, rising through the Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba academy before joining Palermo in 2012.
