One journalist has claimed that AC Milan are interested in signing striker Artem Dovbyk from AS Roma this summer.

It has become clear that Milan want another centre-forward to pair with Santiago Gimenez. Not just because Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic have left (while Francesco Camarda will be loaned out), but because there is the need for a different profile.

In fact, during his press conference to journalists at Casa Milan, Milan’s new sporting director Tare confirmed that the Rossoneri are looking for a striker who has almost the same physical and technical characteristics as Olivier Giroud.

Dovbyk: On Milan’s radar

According to Rome-based journalist Attilio Malena (via MilanNews) – who spoke to Retesport – Milan have shown interest in Dovbyk of Roma. He is a name that is highly regarded by Massimiliano Allegri , who really likes the Ukrainian’s physical and technical characteristics.

In the last few hours, the idea of ​​an exchange with Santiago Gimenez has emerged, who would move to join the Giallorossi just months after his €32m move from Feyenoord.

Sky reported last night that Milan and Roma have indeed held talks but over a goalkeeper swap deal, so could another exchange be on the cards? Dovbyk, who is 28 years of age, has 17 goals in 45 games for the capital club.

  1. That one journalist who is claiming this is high and doesn’t know what he is talking about, he’s been smoking with the immigrants and pickpockets in Roma again.

  2. LOL What was the journalist smoking when they wrote this? We aren’t swapping a young encouraging striker with a guy who is basically a flop.

    1. When did you start watching football? Yesterday? Gimenez has been prolific and you want us to swop him for that? Swop a guy who scored 71 goals in the last 3 seasons for that bonehead? Have you been smoking with them?

  3. I get the need to generate content for economic reasons but jeezus. Reporting on things like this undermines SM credibility. Why not just write an opinion piece on why you think Dovbyk would be a good fit. You don’t have to cite any crazy bs you find on twitter and it’d be way more interesting and engaging. I’d read it.

    1. If Allegri gives his OK for such a move he will be released by December and then we will start again the same path… I hope it’s stupid rumors.

  4. what is ajoke of the day if alegri likes him he doesnt know football at all lets see this season how it goes with alegri forza milan forever

  5. I mean you have Conte who’s kicking out Osimhen for Lukaku so i’m not even surprised if Allegri wanted Dovbyk over Gimenez lol

  6. This is a great idea for Roma and Gimenez. Gasperini would make Gimenez the new Retegui, and Roma would finish ahead of Milan.
