Dovbyk is a Ukrainian international striker, and he will join countryman Viktor Tsygankov in Catalonia. He will immediately available for Gironaβs final pre-season friendly on Sunday, which sees them take on Serie A Lazio.
As per MD, Dovbyk joins for a fee of β¬7m, which makes him the most expensive player in Gironaβs history. They have signed him for just over 50% of his rights, with Dnipro-1 retaining the rest, with some of the funds going to Danish side FC Midtjylland.
Girona will hope that Dovbyk, who scored 32 goals in all competitions last season, can have a similar impact to that of Taty Castellanos, who was very impressive during his loan spell from New York City in 2022-23.
Girona will have their sights set on challenge for Europe during the upcoming season, and given their business so far, they will certainly have a chance of doing so.
