Roma director Frederic Massara confirms no talks have begun with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini to extend their contracts, expiring at the end of the season.

Roma director Frederic Massara has confirmed that the club has not yet opened talks with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini to extend their contracts, which expire at the end of the season.

Massara provided transfer updates on Wednesday ahead of Roma’s home game against Parma.

The Giallorossi director admitted that, due to financial restrictions, Roma is not expected to make a big signing in the January transfer window, although they’ll assess the situation in the coming weeks. Massara emphasized that the club is focusing on the current matches rather than contract negotiations.

“We are aware of the situation, but right now we’re focusing on the matches,” Massara said. “The players with expiring contracts are showing great professionalism and strong commitment to the club.”

At the moment, Roma hasn’t started any discussions to negotiate with Dybala and Pellegrini. Dybala, 31, has scored two goals and provided one assist in eight appearances across all competitions this season.

Dybala joined Roma in the summer of 2022 on a free transfer after the end of his contract with Juventus. Pellegrini, on the other hand, is a product of the club’s academy and has only netted one goal this season, giving Roma a 1-0 win over city rivals Lazio in September.

Roma fans will be keeping a close eye on the contract situations of Dybala and Pellegrini, hoping for positive developments in the coming weeks.
