  • AS Roma outdoored their marquee signing Paulo Dybala to a raucous crowd in the best possible way
  • The 28-year-old received a once-in-a-lifetime presentation as a footballer when he was officially introduced to the teeming fans of the Eternal City club
  • Affectionately called La Joya, Dybala joins the Giallorossi on a free transfer after seven successful years at Juventus, where he played 292 games scoring 115 goals and clinching 12 trophies

Paulo Dybala was treated to an emperor-like welcome as he was unveiled to supporters of Serie A club AS Roma on Tuesday, July 26.

The 28-year-old Argentina international joined AS Roma on a free transfer after spending seven trophy-laden years with Juventus.

The marquee signing, who declined the iconic No.10 jersey out of respect to the legendary Francesco Totti, has proved to be a massive hit among the fans before making his official debut for the Giallorossi.

Dybala broke Ronaldo's shirt sales in Italy when his No.21 shirt eclipsed CR7's initial record of 520,000 shirt sales within 24 hours on the back of his announcement as a player of AS Roma.

He was given a breathtaking welcome when he was presented to an ecstatic crowd numbering hundreds, who had thronged the streets of the club to catch a glimpse of their latest superstar.

In a video posted on the micro-blogging platform Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, Dybala was shell-shocked at the unflinching love shown him by the crowd who sang and chanted, creating a once-in-a-lifetime treatment.

La Joya, who won the Serie A’s Most Valuable Player in 2020, is expected to bolster the attack of Roma as the Eternal City club aims to stake a claim in the 2022-23 Serie A season.

Paulo Dybala pledges to give his all to AS Roma

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Argentina forward Paulo Dybala said on Tuesday he hoped to use his experience to help Roma's youthful squad, in his first press conference since signing a three-year contract.

Europa Conference League winners Roma, who finished sixth in Serie A last season, announced last week they had signed Dybala after his contract with Juventus expired.

Jose Mourinho has also added 33-year-old former Manchester United midfielder, Nemanja Matic, to his squad this summer.
