Source: Artem Dovbik Closest to Joining Genoa Amid Interest
Genoa currently shows the greatest interest in Artem Dovbyk, according to insider Igor Burbas. The reasoning behind this is straightforward: the Genoa head coach is Daniele De Rossi, who was the key figure behind the Ukrainian’s transfer from Girona.
This story actually has some background. In early 2026, Italian media frequently reported that Genoa had requested to loan Dovbyk from Roma for the second half of the season. However, the “Wolves” immediately rejected the proposal. De Rossi himself dismissed these rumors at a press conference, calling them “fabricated speculation.”
The financial aspect is also crucial to consider. A move for Dovbyk to Genoa is nearly impossible due to his high salary—around 3.5 million euros per year—which far exceeds the wage cap set by the Genoa club.
