Frederic Massara, the sporting director of AS Roma, revealed the latest developments regarding the situation of Argentine Paulo Dybala and his stance on renewal, ahead of the team's match against Lille in the Europa League.

Massara said: "Dybala is recovering well, and we hope he will be ready by Sunday; we will know more tomorrow."

The Argentine star has been absent for a while due to a hamstring injury, but the possibility of his return seems close. Massara confirmed that the club has not yet started any negotiations regarding Dybala's contract, which is nearing its end, explaining: "Paulo is not the only player whose contract is expiring soon, but for now, the issue of renewals has not been addressed; we will see that later."

Dybala remains a key element in Roma's lineup, as Massara believes that his continued physical readiness will be crucial for his future with the team.
