Paulo Dybala turned down a significant proposal from Al-Hilal, whose new coach is Simone Inzaghi. The club had presented a lucrative deal for Dybala to participate for just one month during the Club World Cup, with the possibility of playing only three matches if they were eliminated early. Argentine transfer market expert Cesar Luis Merlo reported that the offer was approximately 10 million USD, which is an extraordinary amount considering the brief duration of the contract. Dybala opted to decline the offer due to professional and physical considerations, deciding instead to concentrate on Roma under the guidance of new coach Gian Piero Gasperini and to recuperate from a March injury that required surgery. He is presently undergoing a personalized training regimen to prepare for the summer training camp with Roma. Al-Hilal's effort to secure Dybala's services came after unsuccessful attempts to acquire Theo Hernandez and Angelino.
