Roma director Frederic Massara admits the Giallorossi have yet to open talks with Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini to extend their contracts.

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

The Giallorossi director admitted that, due to financial restrictions, the Giallorossi are not expected to make a big signing in the January transfer window, although they’ll assess the situation in the coming weeks.

Massara also spoke about Dybala and Pellegrini’s futures as their contracts expire at the end of the season.

What Massara said about Dybala’s Roma contract

“We are aware of the situation, but right now we’re focusing on the matches,” Massara said via Calciomercato.com.

“The players with expiring contracts are showing great professionalism and strong commitment to the club. At the moment, we haven’t started any discussions to negotiate with them.”

Dybala and Pellegrini’s goals so far in 2025-26

Dybala, 31, has scored two goals and provided one assist in eight appearances across all competitions this season.

He 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.
