Both he and World Cup winner Matuidi recovered mid-April.
Dybala was diagnosed on March 22, along with his girlfriend Oriana, who recovered sooner from the disease which has killed nearly 30,000 people in Italy.
Dybala also posted a picture of himself on Instagram with his arms outstretched looking at the sky: "My face says it all, I'm finally cured from Covid-19."
Italian champions Juventus also confirmed that their Argentine star had recovered.
"Dybala performed, as per protocol, a double check with diagnostic tests (swabs) for Coronavirus-Covid 19, which came back with negative results," Juventus said in a statement.
"The player has, therefore, recovered and will no longer be subjected to the home isolation regime."
