Artem Dovbyk has had an incredible first season in La Liga. Signing from Dnipro-1 last summer, the Girona striker has netted 20 goals so far, which has him in the lead of the Pichichi Trophy race with two matchdays to go.
Unsurprisingly, Dovbyk is attracting interest because of his goals and performances, which have fired Girona to Champions League qualification for the first time in their history. The likes of Juventus, Napoli and AC Milan have been linked, and any parties keen on a move already known the price that it will take to get him out of Catalonia.
As Fabrizio Romano has told The Daily Briefing, Dovbyk’s Girona release clause is €40m, and he will only leave in the summer if that is activated.
“He’s really open (to any clubs), not a specific league. It depends on the project, the manager, what they want to do with him… but Dovbyk will be available for €40m for sure as there’s a release clause in his contract. Chelsea were rumoured with a move in January but he was never close in January, in the summer it’s still an open situation.”
Girona may find to hard to keep Dovbyk if clubs come calling, although they would be compensated very nicely if he does move on, which would be a silver lining.
