Artem Dovbyk Targeted by Ajax as Roma Seek Exit

Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, who won La Liga's Golden Boot with Girona in the 2023/24 season, is set to leave Italian club Roma after two years. Roma paid €30.5 million plus €5.5 million in bonuses for him in 2024, but he made only 14 league appearances and scored three goals, falling out of favor with manager Gian Piero Gasperini. The club has placed a €23 million price tag on Dovbyk and is eager to off‑load him to fund other signings. Dutch side Ajax have joined the race to sign the 29‑year‑old, offering the prospect of regular first‑team action, though it is unclear if they will meet Roma's valuation. Other potential suitors, such as Genoa, have also been mentioned.
