Artem Dovbyk’s numbers and statistics are highly impressive. The Ukrainian forward, currently playing for Girona, is on the verge of a move to Atletico Madrid.
With Alvaro Morata leaving Atletico Madrid to return to Serie A to play for Milan, the Spanish club needs to replace their former captain.
The primary target, who is becoming increasingly likely to join, is the Ukrainian Dovbyk. The forward scored an impressive 24 goals last season, making him the top scorer.
Sources within the club have expressed confidence in securing Dovbyk’s signature soon.
A representative from Atletico Madrid stated, “We are looking to finalise the deal as quickly as possible,” according to a report from Marca.
The transfer of Morata to Milan was confirmed earlier this week, and Atletico Madrid has acted swiftly to ensure they do not lack firepower upfront for the coming season.
Dovbyk’s consistently strong performances have caught the eye of several top European clubs, but Atletico Madrid appears to have won the race for his signature.
Girona has reluctantly agreed to negotiate a deal, recognising the talent and potential of their star striker.
“Artem has been crucial for us, but we understand the player’s desire to advance his career,” a source from Girona reportedly said, as per a statement from AS.
As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on whether Atletico Madrid can complete this high-profile signing in time for the new campaign.
