Mini bio
How it started.
Born in Laguna Larga, Argentina, Dybala began his professional career with Instituto. After one season, he moved to Palermo in 2012 at 18, beginning a career in Italian football.
Finding his stage.
Palermo led to Juventus, where he won five Serie A titles. His two goals against Barcelona in the 2017 Champions League quarter-final became a defining performance. He finished his Juventus chapter with 115 goals, matching Roberto Baggio’s total for the club.
Rome and Argentina.
Dybala joined Roma in July 2022. Later that year, he helped Argentina win the World Cup, converting his penalty in the final shootout against France. In July 2026, he extended his Roma contract until June 2027.
Beyond match day.
In 2025, he became a Laureus Ambassador and visited Calcio Insieme, a Rome programme that uses football to support children with intellectual disabilities. His official social accounts give fans another place to follow his football and life away from matches.
