La Liga
Marcelino García Toral has set a clear target to strengthen Villarreal's attack: Artem Dovbyk. The Asturian coach believes the Ukrainian forward would fit perfectly into his system, and has already expressed to the club his desire to sign him in this summer transfer window. The sports management has started to assess the feasibility of the operation, aware that it won't be easy due to AS Roma's high financial demands.
The Italian club is willing to offload the striker after a season where he failed to establish himself as a key player. Despite arriving with a big reputation and a high transfer fee from Girona, the player didn't perform up to expectations. Now, with a new coaching staff on the bench and the intention to reshape their attack, the capital's club is looking to move him on.
Marcelino demanded Villarreal to sign Artem Dovbyck
The player's entourage views a return to LaLiga positively, a league where he has excelled due to his physical power and goal-scoring ability. Villarreal is open to his arrival, but the requested price — around 20 million euros — poses a challenge for the club's finances.
On the other hand, Roma is not ruling out a loan with an option to buy deal, a formula that could facilitate an agreement. Meanwhile, Dovbyk's name has also been offered in other leagues, but the striker's priority is to return to Spain, where he experienced his best professional moments.
