Paulo Dybala has expressed his desire to end his career at AS Roma. The Argentine striker, who is nearly 33 years old, spoke in an interview with UEFA magazine, reported by several Italian and international media outlets, including La Gazzetta dello Sport and ANSA.

A bond with Roma and Italy

"I hope to end my career with Roma," Dybala said, as quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport. "But it is still early to talk about it," he added, according to ANSA. Roma's number 21 also emphasized his identification with Italy. "In Rome and with Roma," he insisted, as reported by Brazilian media outlet Placar.

This statement comes as the player, who has played 7 matches in all competitions this season, approaches the final years of his career, as highlighted by Maxifoot.

Eyeing Real Madrid

Dybala also looked ahead to the next European fixture. "When we play at the Olimpico, we will have something extra," he said, as quoted by TuttoMercatoWeb. He mentioned the Champions League, a competition in which his team "gave everything last season," in his words reported by the same outlet.

The Roma fantasista also stressed the support expected from the crowd. "Our home supporters will give us an extra push," he said, according to Corriere dello Sport. He acknowledged that "tough challenges" await his team, but insisted he is "proud" of it.
