Roma issues a statement saying Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina will not travel to Argentina for Lionel Messi’s farewell, three days after reports first said the pair refused the trip. The club says it has “utmost respect for Messi,” while addressing the decision involving its players.
The outlets describe Roma’s response as a clarification rather than a reversal. According to the reporting, the club confirms the players remain available for club commitments and that the decision is being communicated internally and publicly to avoid confusion following earlier claims.
While the accounts agree on Roma’s position and the basic timeline, they differ in emphasis: some focus on the reported initial refusal and the subsequent confirmation, while others highlight Roma’s language of respect toward Messi. Overall, the story centers on Roma’s official explanation for why Dybala and Molina are not part of the Argentina trip linked to Messi’s farewell event.
