Roma continue to want to sell Dovbyk: swap with Napoli’s Lucca deemed unlikely

Artem Dovbyk’s future seems increasingly distant from Roma.

According to the British portal, the Giallorossi are also open to the possibility of loaning the Ukrainian striker, a deal that would allow interested clubs to pursue a low-risk deal with a potentially high return.

Over the past week, the player’s entourage and several intermediaries have been exploring the European market, particularly in the Premier League.

Among the clubs contacted are Leeds, Sunderland, and West Ham.

As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Artem Dovbyk is on his way out of Roma, but talks with Napoli regarding a possible swap deal with Lorenzo Lucca aren’t particularly hot, and the deal doesn’t appear to be on track.
