PRESS REVIEW – Castellanos and Dovbyk they continue to interlock their destinies. The two centre-forwards have led (alternating) Girona’s attack in the last two seasons. Their future is once again linked. Last summer the Argentine arrived at Lazio, while the Ukrainian flew to Spain. Now, however, their paths still seem linked and uncertain. Let’s start from Dovbyk who landed in La Liga in the summer for 7.75 million euros and was the absolute protagonist of Girona’s miracle season. In total, the forward from Cherkasy scored 25 goals and provided 10 assists which put the eyes of half of Europe on him. According to today’s edition of Il Corriere dello Sport, the center forward has ended up on the radar of Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Napoli and Milan. In Spain they are certain that the two Italians are ahead and are ready to put 35 million on the table, with Girona however asking for 40 million to get him started.
The sale of the Ukrainian would push Girona to come back strong on Taty Castellanos, 13 goals with the Spaniards in 22/23. LThe first proposal of 13 million was returned to the sender with Lazio starting from 20 and would be willing to go down to 18, but not less. The Biancocelesti believe in the Argentine, but faced with an offer like that they would get back the investment made in the summer and would have greater liquidity to strengthen the squad and sign a more important striker. With Castellanos and Ciro in the squad you can think about buying a wildcard centre-forward, adaptable as a winger, or including a promising baby. If Castellanos leaves, the hunt will have to be opened for a top purchase. Only the next few weeks will clarify the intentions of Girona and Lazio.
