Roma penalty taker

Malen took and converted Roma's 10 May competitive penalty against Parma with Dybala on the pitch; Gazzetta reported that Dybala handed him the ball. Malen then took again against Verona on 24 May with Dybala available, establishing the strongest late-season like-for-like signal. Dybala remains the high-confidence second choice. His July friendly penalty came while Malen was on post-World-Cup leave and does not reverse the order. Soulé is the best confirmed current tertiary after Lorenzo Pellegrini's contract expired without an official extension by the cutoff. Malen over Dybala is supported by late-2025/26 like-for-like usage; Soulé is a provisional tertiary without comparable current penalty evidence. Conditions: A departure or extended unavailability involving Malen or Dybala requires a reorder. Reassess Soulé if a current teammate takes a like-for-like penalty with both Malen and Dybala absent.
