Roma's loan approval puts Artem Dovbyk on Genoa's radar
Roma have granted Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk permission to pursue a loan move to Daniele De Rossi’s Genoa, with the Giallorossi club confirming openness to the deal as the player seeks regular football after months sidelined by injury, and as the club plans to part ways with him this summer.
He is currently evaluating his options to secure playing time, and one of the clubs he is considering is Genoa, owned by former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi. De Rossi previously coached Dovbyk during his stint at Roma. The former midfielder’s involvement adds a personal dimension to the potential move.
Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Roma, often called the Giallorossi, are receptive to a loan arrangement for Dovbyk. The club's openness suggests they prefer a temporary move over a permanent transfer this summer. Negotiations are expected to progress before the window closes.
De Rossi has been applying constant pressure on Dovbyk to persuade him to join Genoa. His influence stems from their previous working relationship at Roma. The former midfielder's advocacy is seen as a key factor in the striker's decision.
A loan spell at Genoa would give Dovbyk the chance to regain match fitness ahead of the new season. Roma anticipate that the loan will facilitate a clean break as they plan to part ways with the Ukrainian forward after the season. Both clubs view the arrangement as mutually beneficial given Dovbyk's desire for regular football.
