BIG NEWS: Real Betis has already made their offer for Dovbyk

Artem Dovbyk has become one of the most attractive options for Real Betis' transfer market to strengthen their forward line this summer. The Ukrainian's name has shifted from being almost ruled out to a real possibility if the market opens up a favorable opportunity.

The operation, however, will not be simple or quick. AS Roma still aims to recoup a significant part of the investment they made in the forward and is not currently willing to facilitate a departure that does not offer economic guarantees.

Artem Dovbyk gaining strength on Real Betis' list

Real Betis' interest in Artem Dovbyk stems from a clear idea: to incorporate a proven forward with experience in LaLiga and the ability to enhance the team's offensive level from day one. His time at Girona, where he was one of the standout performers of the league, remains vivid in the memory of the sports management.

The 29-year-old Ukrainian is under contract with Roma until 2029 and has a market value close to €15 million. His profile fits what Betis is seeking: a powerful striker with good hold-up play, a finishing touch in the box, and experience in demanding scenarios.

The proposal rumored in Italy would likely be a loan with an option to buy. It aligns with Betis' strategy, as they prefer not to meet Roma's initial demands outright and would rather wait for the summer to progress to find a more favorable situation.

AS Roma wants to sell, but Betis does not rush

AS Roma maintains a logical stance: if Dovbyk departs, the priority is to generate revenue. The Italian club still has a significant portion of their transfer fee to amortize and does not contemplate, at least initially, an operation that would mean relinquishing economic control over the player.

In Heliópolis, however, they understand that time could play in their favor. If the forward does not feature prominently in the new season's sporting plans, Roma might start considering intermediate solutions to free up part of his wages and avoid having a key asset without a substantial role.

This is where Real Betis' patience comes into play. The club does not want to disrupt its planning or overspend. The maximum amount set for the new striker is around €15 million, yet a deferred purchase option could allow some flexibility.

Kévin Denkey, the alternative that also excites

The name of Kévin Denkey has reemerged as a serious alternative. The Togolese forward from FC Cincinnati meets several requirements: competitive age, a good scoring record, and a cost that could fit within the parameters Betis is considering to strengthen their attack.

Denkey, at 25 years old, has a market value of around €14 million and made a highly significant move to the MLS. It wouldn't be an easy signing, but those close to the player view the prospect of returning to Europe favorably if a convincing project emerges.

Real Betis' sports management is not fixated on a single name. Artem Dovbyk is highly regarded, but his transfer requires patience, negotiation, and careful steps. Hence, keeping the option of Kévin Denkey open allows the club to pressure the market and avoid being locked into a single deal.

Other profiles have also emerged in the list, such as Franculino Djú, although some options currently surpass Betis' economic margins. The priority is clear: finding a starting or immediately impactful striker without jeopardizing financial stability.

The outcome will depend on the summer's progression. If AS Roma lowers its demands, Artem Dovbyk could become a very significant market opportunity for Real Betis. If there is no movement in Italy, the Betis club has the alternative path prepared with Kévin Denkey as the name to follow.
