Dybala, 30, is set to join the Saudi Arabian outfit for a reported transfer of €15 million, while he is in line to earn a huge salary in the Middle East.

As per multiple reports, Dybala will sign a three-year deal at Al-Qadsiah and he will earn a basic annual salary of €20m.

According to Tuttosport (via Football Italia), there will also be an option to extend his stay at the club for a further 12 months and with bonuses included, the Argentine could receive up to €100m in wages during his time in the Saudi Pro League.

Since joining Roma on a free transfer in 2022, Dybala has made 77 appearances for the club, scoring 34 goals and providing 18 assists in all competitions.

Dybala will become the Saudi Pro League’s fourth-most expensive signing of the summer transfer window if he joins Al-Qadsiah for €15m - behind Moussa Diaby (€60m), Ezequiel Fernandez (€18.7m) and Bento (€18m).

Federico Chiesa to Roma?

If Dybala does leave Roma, Daniele De Rossi’s side will look to sign Juventus winger Federico Chiesa as his replacement, according to Tuttosport.

The Italy international has just one year left on his contract at the Allianz Stadium and he has been heavily linked with a move away this summer.

Multiple Premier League clubs have reportedly spoken to Chiesa’s representatives over the past few weeks, but Roma will eye a move if Dybala departs for Saudi Arabia.

Roma have already done business with Juventus this summer, with Matias Soule leaving the Turin-based outfit to move to the Italian capital for an initial transfer fee of €25.6m.

He is one of six new arrivals at Roma, along with Artem Dovbyk, Enzo Le Fee, Angelino, Samuel Dahl and Mathew Ryan.

If Chiesa is unattainable, Roma may turn their attention to former Sassuolo and Atalanta winger Jeremie Boga, who is currently plying his trade at Ligue 1 side OGC Nice.
