The Villarreal CF continues to work on strengthening its squad, with one of the names gaining momentum in the club's offices being Artem Dovbyk.

The Ukrainian striker who is not part of Roma's plans and has expressed his desire to return to play in LaLiga. The Yellow Submarine's board will aim to secure his signing until the last day of the transfer market.

Artem Dovbyk, the striker who wants to return to Spain

The 28-year-old attacker left a mark at Girona last season, where he scored 24 goals and 10 assists in 39 games, becoming one of the most effective forwards in the league. This performance earned him a €30 million transfer to Roma, although the Italian side is now looking to recoup some of that investment with a permanent sale.

On the other hand, Villarreal CF would be more interested in initially securing a loan, with the option to negotiate a transfer later on. However, the Castellon-based club is unlikely to reach a figure exceeding €20 million, complicating their aspirations against the firm stance of the Romans.

So far this summer, Villarreal has finalized several strategic signings: Renato Veiga (Chelsea), Alberto Moleiro (Las Palmas), Santiago Mouriño (Atletico Madrid), Tajon Buchanan (Inter Milan), Rafa Marín (Naples, on loan) and Thomas Partey as a free agent after leaving Arsenal.

Despite these moves, the coach deems it essential to bring in a leading striker and an additional center-back to strengthen the rotation. In this context, the presence of Artem Dovbyk aligns perfectly with the profile the club seeks to lead the offensive line.

The operation is not straightforward. Roma paid a substantial sum and is unwilling to accept a low-cost exit. "We need a reliable striker, but we also need to be cautious financially," say sources close to the Yellow Submarine's board.

A signing that could define Villarreal's season

The player himself views his return to Spain positively, where he reached his peak performance. Furthermore, his familiarity with the league and his adaptation to Villarreal's offensive style represent added value. The challenge lies in finding a formula that satisfies all parties before the market closes.

If Villarreal CF manages to sign Artem Dovbyk, it would be a qualitative leap in attack and enhance their chances of competing in Europe and LaLiga. Otherwise, the club will have to seek last-minute alternatives to avoid being short in a demanding season. Marcelino wants the Ukrainian to finalize a historic market.
