The arrival of Paulo Dybala to the Italian capital did not go unnoticed by Giallorossi fans who, in order to support the club’s biggest signing in years, went ahead and ordered the Argentine’s jersey.
Paulo Dybala broke Cristiano Ronaldo’s shirt sales record in Italy just a day after completing his highly anticipated transfer to AS Roma.
That’s according to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, which has reported that the Argentine set a new record in jersey sales the day after the official announcement of his transfer.

Thus, Dybala’s surprise switch to Roma garnered more support among fans than Ronaldo’s decision to join Juventus in the summer of 2018.
As things stand, Ronaldo’s future is up in the air. The Portuguese is determined to leave Manchester United this summer in pursuit of UEFA Champions League football next season.
The player’s agent Jorge Mendes has offered his client to multiple Serie A clubs like Inter Milan and Napoli.
Should he end up joining any of the two clubs, he’ll come up against his former teammate Paulo Dybala in the Italian top flight next season.
It remains to be seen where the five-time Ballon d’Or winner ends up plying his trade next campaign.
