Paulo Dybala’s agent returned to Spain after a meeting with Galatasaray in Istanbul, but four doubts emerged regarding the Argentinean’s potential move to Turkey.
Dybala’s agent, Carlos Novel, has returned home to Spain after a meeting with Galatasaray in the Turkish capital, Istanbul.
Multiple sources claim Galatasaray have offered €10m per season to Dybala, but the striker’s January transfer remains uncertain.
Claudio Ranieri hasn’t ruled out Dybala’s exit next month, but according to Corriere dello Sport, Roma and the player must consider three things before making a final decision.

First of all, Roma are just two points above the relegation zone in Serie A, and even if Dybala has only scored two goals in 18 games this season, he remains the best player on the team.
Secondly, it’s still unclear whether Dybala and his wife, Oriana Sabatini, would be open to moving to Turkey as they have ongoing projects in Italy, Miami and Argentina.
The third aspect to be considered is the transfer fee for Roma. Dybala has barely six months left in his contract, and Galatasaray hope that Giallorossi will release the player practically for free. This, however, seems an unlikely scenario, especially because Dybala has a €12m clause valid for January.
Roma have not opened talks to renew Dybala’s €8m contract, but the deal will automatically be extended if La Joya makes 45-minute long appearances in seven more games this term. If the clause is automatically triggered, then how much would Dybala cost?
