Paulo Dybala has claimed that there has been no contact between himself and Roma regarding a new contract.
The former Juventus and Palermo star has claimed that Sunday's Derby della Capitale against Lazio could be the last opportunity he gets to play in front of his home fans, with his current deal set to expire this summer.
Dybala has struggled to find his form this season, starting just Serie A matches, a disappointing campaign that has ultimately cost him a place in Argentina's 55-man preliminarily squad for the World Cup.
The 32-year-old has netted 45 goals and provided a further 27 assists during his time with I Giallorossi.
Amid rumours that Dybala might be available for free this summer, the lion's share of column inches dedicated to his future have been taken up by discussion centred around a return to his native Argentina to join Boca Juniors.
The Azul y Oro are not adverse to a big name signing, bringing in the likes of Leandro Paredes, Edinson Cavani and Sergio Romero all joining the Buenos Aires outfit across the last few seasons.
The likes of Rodrigo De Paul, Facundo Mura, Mateo Silvetti, Tadeo Allende and, of course, Lionel Messi, ensure that Dybala would not feel out of place within Inter Miami's Argentine core, should he opt for a move to Florida this summer.
MLS will take break throughout the duration of the World Cup, providing Dybala with the opportunity to join the Herons just halfway through the campaign.
Guillermo Angel Hoyos' men are currently in a decent position to make the playoffs and the signing of Dybala could go some way to securing a place in the postseason competition.
If Dybala does feel as if he has unfinished business in Europe; Galatasaray would be an obvious destination.
Aslanlar have been crowned Turkish top-flight champions for the 27th time in their history and performed well in this season's UEFA Champions League, defeating Liverpool in the League Phase as well dumping Juventus out of the competition in the Playoff round.
Both Noa Lang and Yaser Asprilla are set to rejoin their parent clubs when this season is over, leaving ample space for Dybala to slot into the squad.
