AS Roma have reportedly sold 535,000 Paulo Dybala shirts just a day after he signed for the club. This breaks the record of Cristiano Ronaldo who held the record for most sales when he arrived at Juventus.
The playmaker arrived at the club on a free transfer from Juventus. AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has reportedly played a very big part in convincing him to join the club.
