Argentina star Paulo Dybala has finally broken his silence on turning down a contract worth €75 million (R1.4 billion) from the Saudi Pro League.
Dybala was reportedly on the verge of completing a move to Saudi side Al-Qadisah in the final days of the transfer window.

"One of the reasons why I rejected Saudi Arabia was certainly that of wanting to return to the national team," Dybala told TyC Sports.
"I feel good and I want to continue to fight and win with Argentina and with Roma.
"I know that there is a lot of competition here and not it's easy, when I play I give 100%."
Dybala was on target for Argentina this week and he gave a special mention to the fans on his return.
"The fans are incredible, this group gives a lot of happiness to people and they recognize it. This victory is for everyone.
"The people have welcomed me in this way after a long time away from the Seleccion and I got goosebumps."
