The Argentine, who has been sidelined for a long time this season due to various injuries, is about to take a major step toward Boca Juniors.

According to a source close to ESPN, the Giallorossi number 21 has already reached a preliminary agreement with the Buenos Aires club to join them once his contract with Roma expires in June.

In recent days, Dybala had spoken about the possibility of moving to the Bombonera, declaring: “It would be fantastic. You never know. Today I play for Roma; I have to defend this shirt, but you never know.”

An agreement between the player and Boca Juniors therefore appears to be very close, with Dybala ready to return to his home country for a new experience, joining his friend and compatriot Paredes.
