Joao Cancelo’s Heartwarming Gesture: Gifting His Barcelona Jersey to Paulo Dybala
In a touching display of camaraderie, Joao Cancelo has presented his Barcelona jersey to none other than Paulo Dybala, eliciting gratitude from the Argentine forward who expressed his thanks on Instagram, writing, “Thanks a lot my friend ❤️.” Joao accompanied the gift with a special message on the shirt: “For my brother and friend Paulo Dybala. Hug.”
The gesture comes with an interesting backstory, as Dybala reportedly expressed interest in joining Barcelona during the summer of 2022 when he left Juventus as a free agent. Despite his willingness, the Catalans declined to sign the talented attacker, who eventually found a new home with Roma.
Currently, the 30-year-old has been making significant contributions to Roma’s campaign, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists in 13 appearances this season. Notably, Dybala was also a crucial part of Argentina’s World Cup-winning squad last year, adding to his impressive list of achievements.
