Paulo Dybala, born on 15 November 1993 in Argentina, is a robust striker who is currently engaged in the lush pastures of Roma. This strapping lad, who is 5ft 9in (1.77m) tall and weighs 11st 6lb (73kg), dons the number 21 jersey. His journey began amidst the wild Pampas, playing for the Argentina national team and now, he's a seasoned veteran in the cauldron of European football.
A player of Dybala’s calibre commands a notable market value which hovers around the £7m mark according to Transfermarkt.
Unsurprisingly, Dybala's potential was swiftly recognised abroad. In July 2012, he ventured from Instituto in the Primera División in Argentina to Palermo in the Serie B in Italy for a handsome fee of £11m. His time at Palermo saw consistent, marked improvements. A making of 27 first team appearances and a tally of three goals in league matches in his debut season made for a promising start. By season 2014 - 2015, Dybala was making 34 first team appearances and racking up an impressive 13 goals in league matches.
In July 2015, he answered the call of the Old Lady, Juventus in the Serie A for a fee of around £23m. A formidable journey ensued where he endeared himself to the Turin faithful with consistent performances. His debut season saw him immensely involved with 34 first team appearances and a remarkable 19 goals in league matches. In the following seasons, Dybala was a regular presence upfront, his contributions culminating in the 2017 - 2018 season where he registered 33 first team appearances and a personal best of 22 goals. His time at Juventus ended in the 2021 - 2022 season with a tally of ten goals in 29 first team appearances.
In July 2022, Dybala switched allegiances to wear the colours of Roma in Serie A. His performances have been steady since his move, with the most successful stint being in the 2023 - 2024 season where he marked 13 goals in 28 first appearances. Notably, in the current season 2025 - 2026, Dybala has had made ten first team appearances and scored once.
On the international stage, his exploits included participation in the World Cup Qualifiers for South America 2024 - 2026, where he managed to score once in two appearances as a substitute. His European experiences encompass the Europa League 2023 - 2024 for Roma with two goals in seven starts and the current 2025 - 2026 season where he has already scored once in two starts.
