Artem Dovbyk did not train with Girona on Wednesday. The Ukrainian striker’s arrival at Atletico Madrid could happen in the next few hours although, according to journalist Di Marzio, Roma will try until the end to sign him.

Atletico Madrid are just hours away from announcing their first signing for the 2024/25 season. In case there were still any doubts, Artem Dovbyk did not train with Girona on Wednesday, which suggests that negotiations have reached a successful conclusion and an official announcement could be imminent.

However, according to journalist Di Marzio, Roma will try to make a final push. The Italian side already know that it is very difficult for them, but they will try to insist on signing the striker, who they have already had their eye on in the past.

Romelu Lukaku’s return to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell has left a gap in the Serie A club’s forward line that they want the Ukrainian to fill. A guaranteed goalscorer, he scored a total of 24 goals in his first season in La Liga.
