La Liga
Artem Dovbyk returns to the center of the European transfer market. The Ukrainian striker, currently at AS Roma, has been offered to Atlético de Madrid in a cross-operation aimed at unlocking a complex negotiation between both clubs.
The name of Artem Dovbyk is again linked to LaLiga, a competition where he recently made a recognizable impact. His time at Girona allowed him to emerge as one of the most efficient forwards in the league, which opened the doors for him to move to Italian football.
However, his experience at AS Roma has not been as expected. The attacker has struggled to secure a regular starting position, and his involvement has been very limited during the current season.
Artem Dovbyk and a secondary role at AS Roma
The sporting situation of Artem Dovbyk at AS Roma explains the move. The striker has only played in 14 official Serie A matches, with just three starts, far below the expectations set upon his arrival.
The Roman side believes that the Ukrainian doesn't fully fit into the current team dynamic. His playing style, more associated with the penalty area and finishing, doesn't quite match the tactical demands of Italian football.
Given this scenario, the player's desire is to return to LaLiga, an environment he knows well and where he feels comfortable. The player himself believes that a change of scenery could reignite his career.
Atlético de Madrid enters the equation
As reported by SportMediaset, AS Roma has put forward the name of Artem Dovbyk as part of negotiations with Atlético de Madrid. The aim is to facilitate the arrival of Raspadori to the Roman side.
The plan is clear: offer the Ukrainian forward to reduce the financial impact of a deal that would otherwise require Roma to cover the €22 million invested by the Spanish club in the Italian forward.
For Atlético de Madrid, the proposal is attractive from a market perspective. Dovbyk knows the league, has a knack for scoring, and recent experience in LaLiga. However, the interest is purely strategic.

Simeone does not consider him for his plans
Despite the offer, a clear message comes from Atlético de Madrid. Artem Dovbyk is not part of Diego Pablo Simeone's plans, at least in the short term.
The Argentine coach prioritizes different profiles for his attack. He seeks forwards with better press, mobility, and defensive work rate, areas in which he believes the Ukrainian doesn't excel.
Furthermore, the sports planning of the Spanish club doesn't foresee major adjustments in that position unless a very specific market opportunity aligns perfectly with their style of play.
Artem Dovbyk's desire and immediate future
On a personal level, Artem Dovbyk would welcome a return to LaLiga. The striker feels he needs continuity, confidence, and a competitive environment to enhance his qualities inside the box.
His time in Spain was the most productive of his career, which weighs heavily when considering future scenarios. However, the rejection from Atlético de Madrid forces AS Roma to explore other options.
The winter transfer window appears as a pivotal opportunity. If the forward doesn't gain importance in the Italian team, his exit seems increasingly likely, whether to Spain or another European league.
Artem Dovbyk is once again at the center of rumors. However, for now, his name doesn't fit into Atlético de Madrid's roadmap, as the club sticks to its plans without being swayed by opportunities that don't fully convince.
