Girona, a team in the sights of the big clubs
Girona’s historic season has captured the attention of Europe’s most important clubs. Their qualification for the Champions League has generated interest from the continent’s big teams, who see the Catalan team as a source of talent to recruit. It is not surprising that several clubs are already contacting the Montilivi offices to ask about the stars of the team led by Michel.
The challenge of retaining the best players
The Madrid coach faces a complicated challenge: retaining his best players for the most exciting season in Girona’s history. After Atlético de Madrid tried to sign Artem Dovbyk and entered into negotiations with the management of the red and white team, now it is Chelsea who intends to take the Ukrainian forward. The English will do everything possible to sign the Girona player after abandoning negotiations for Victor Osimhen.
Chelsea’s interest in Artem Dovbyk
After a season full of ups and downs for Chelsea, the team led by Enzo Maresca seeks to strengthen itself for next season. The club’s sports management considers that the arrival of a forward like Dovbyk is key, and they have already marked him as a priority objective. Although the forward has a contract with Girona until 2028, he has a termination clause of 40 million euros that makes him very attractive to Chelsea, a club that has no qualms about making large investments. In addition, the English offer Dovbyk the opportunity to form an offensive duo with his compatriot Mykhaylo Mudryk.
Dovbyk, Chelsea’s alternative to Victor Osimhen
According to FootballTransfers sources, Chelsea had shown interest in signing Victor Osimhen and had contacted Napoli to find out about the forward’s situation. However, the high financial demands of Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis and PSG’s interest in signing the Nigerian have led Chelsea to rule out his signing and focus on Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian is presented as a more affordable alternative to the blues.
A strategic change in Chelsea’s signings
This decision suggests a strategic change in Chelsea’s transfer objectives, which seeks to put an end to the large investments of recent seasons. The club is looking for more realistic and economical alternatives to reinforce its squad. In this sense, the hiring of Dovbyk would guarantee talent and quality without compromising the financial situation of the club.
