AS Roma will demand at least €25 million to sell Artem Dovbyk, with Everton and West Ham United being linked with a move for the striker.
According to Corriere dello Sport via Sport Witness, Artem Dovbyk will cost at least €25 million ahead of the January window. Everton and West Ham remain linked with the Ukrainian attacker, as Roma are open to selling him in the January window, to raise funds to re-invest in the squad.
Artem Dovbyk could be a big target for clubs in the January window, with the attacker garnering interest from the Premier League. AS Roma reportedly tried to sell him back in the summer, but ahead of January, they may try again to get him out the door.
Roma are eager to bring in the cash and are demanding at least €25 million for the sale, as this is a figure that will ensure they do not make a loss in their investment on the striker. There are a few suitors like Leeds United and West Ham in the mix, which may see the door open for Dovbyk to make a switch to England.
Everton and West Ham were offered Dovbyk a while back, as the duo represent big options for the attacker ahead of January. The Hammers are looking for a new striker as they are ready to offload Niclas Fullkrug, as the 28-year-old Serie A striker is being looked at as a replacement for the German.
Dovbyk could be open to a Premier League switch, amid the growing interest from clubs like West Ham. However, much will depend on Roma’s ability to bring in a replacement early, as Joshua Zirkzee remains linked with a move to the Italian capital, as the Dutchman’s arrival would seal the Ukrainian’s fate.
Everton to have an advantage in the Dovbyk chase?
Everton are also interested and could have an advantage in the chase if things go their way. For starters, Roma and Everton are under the same Friedkin Group ownership, which could help ease a deal between the two clubs.
Everton are also ready to offer Beto in any deal for Dovbyk, knowing very well that Roma holds an interest in the attacker. However, Roma will certainly demand something in the range of €25 million, which could also include player valuation should another star arrive in an exchange deal. However, West Ham cannot be ruled out just yet, as the race for the 28-year-old Serie A striker is quite open.
