Commissions indigestible and the deal Zirkzee, the number one target for the Rossoneri attack, now without Giroud, is currently at a standstill. The Rossoneri were well aware that what was emerging would be a possible scenario, and it is precisely for this reason that they took precautions by also following, probing and examining other profiles to give to the new coach Paulo Fonseca.
One of them is Artem Dovbykwho shares the value of the with the strong Bologna striker clause termination: they will be needed to take him away from Girona 40 million euros. And certainly less from the agent than the 15 million that Kia Joorabchian is asking for. In terms of personal details, numbers and characteristics, it is certainly a different profile from Zirkzee, but equally valid and with different strengths in its favour.
Strong central striker, starter Girona surprise of the last Liga, winner of the Pichichithe trophy dedicated to the top scorer of the Spanish championship, with 24 goals. Class 1997the Ukrainian (he is currently competing in Euro 2024 with his national team), exploded relatively late in top-level football, becoming fundamental in this year for Girona who placed third behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Born in Cerkasy in Ukraine, Dovbyk grew up as a footballer in his hometown team and then moved to Dnipro, where he managed to establish himself after a few loans in Denmark and Moldova. He moved to Girona last summer for 7 million eurosa record figure for the Spanish club, where he finds his Ukrainian teammate Tsygankov.
His 189cm of height give strong clues to his way of playing and his strengths: of the 24 goals in La Liga, most of them came from head inside the penalty area. Opportunist and intelligent in positioning in the opponents’ 16 meters, he takes full advantage of his imposing physique to attract all the attention of the defense. Attention that he manages to counteract very well: he is an awkward player to mark and face in the last 20 metres. Raptor, but not static. Dovbyk is obviously not a dribbler, but he is still very quick in the long run and his ability to shoot is interesting.attack depth: a characteristic that the Milan center forward has been missing for some time now.
Left foot, he is lucid in front of goal and is also skilled in making plays for his teammates in the opposing area. He takes penalties coldly, crossing often. He must certainly improve in the use of his weak foot, currently at a lower level than the rest of the package.
About him, in addition to that of the Milanthere is the concrete interest ofAtletico Madrid and that of Naples in case Osimhen were to leave.
