AS Roma refuses to release Paulo Dybala and Nahuel Molina for Lionel Messi’s farewell match in Argentina. Multiple reports say Roma will not grant permission for the two players to travel for the game scheduled for October 6.
The match is reported to be against Benin. Roma cites a combination of logistical challenges and sporting considerations related to travel and planning, leading the club to block the players’ availability. Other outlets frame the decision as a firm refusal based on practical concerns around long-distance travel and the timing of the match.
While both sources agree on Roma’s decision and the match details, they differ slightly in emphasis—one report foregrounds Roma’s “long travel and logistical concerns,” while the other summarizes the rationale more generally as “sporting and logistical reasons.” Neither source indicates an alternative arrangement for the players to participate.
