AS Roma sporting director Tiago Pinto has welcomed Paulo Dybala to the club.

Dybala was presented to the local media today.

Pinto said: "Good morning everyone, if I can joke a little in Italian, it's a joy to have La Joya!

"Great teamwork was needed, the first thing I feel like saying is to thank the owners, the involvement in the negotiation, the coach who was important.

"Paulo's staff, the entourage, helped to create this partnership. Paulo does not need me to talk about quality, but in the days we were together, beyond the quality of the player, I was pleased with the involvement and empathy with the team. A great desire to do well with Roma.

"It is a pleasure to have a strong player in Roma.

"Welcome, good luck".
