Artem Dovbyk has been one of the protagonists of last July. It seemed that he was going to be the forward chosen by Atlético de Madrid to replace the loss of Álvaro Morata . In fact, many Spanish media considered the matter closed, since the only thing missing was the review of the footballer's contract with his agent.
However, the day all parties sat down in the offices of the Metropolitan , everything blew up. Several problems with the Ukrainian's agent, regarding the footballer's commissions and earnings, caused his signing to come to a screeching halt. So much so that AS Roma , a team that was also very interested in ArtemDovbyk , entered fully into the fight for the player.
The days went by, and his arrival at the Italian team was increasingly evident. Something that ended up being confirmed when his representative, Alex Lundovsky , made several controversial statements for a Ukrainian media. It was at that moment where, in addition to making it official that Artem Dovbyk was not going to wear red and white next season, the Atlético fans criticized the player.
Some poorly aged statements
The decision to go to Rome caused quite a bit of controversy at the Metropolitano . Many people did not understand how a player who was going to play in the ChampionsLeague , whether for Girona or Atléticode Madrid , would end up playing in the Europa League . And, by signing for the Romanista team, the Ukrainian will fight to lift a trophy of a lower level than the Orejona.
However, if there is something for which his agent's statements can end up badly, it is because of the latest additions that AtléticodeMadrid is making. And, after saying that the mattress club project was not "serious for Artem Dovbyk ", Gil Marín has already set to work to revolutionize the market.
This is how, after the arrival of RobinLeNormand and AlexanderSorloth , replacement for Artem Dovbyk , AtléticodeMadrid is close to closing two high-level additions. We are talking about ConorGallagher and JuliánÁlvarez , whose official announcements will be a matter of days . Two footballers more than proven in the elite of European football and who will arrive to give an important leap in level to Diego Pablo Simeone 's squad.
In fact, recently an image is going viral on Twitter that shows that the Atlético de Madrid project is being more serious than Artem Dovbyk imagined. A photo showing the next additions to the red and white club with the exception of Javi Guerra , who will not finally arrive at theMetropolitano after the signing of ConorGallagher for the midfield.
Be that as it may, it seems evident that Atléticode Madrid is facing one of the most important markets in recent years. Not only in terms of arrivals, but also in terms of departures, outstanding work has been done with the departure of Hermoso , Savic , Saúl and Morata , among others. Sales that had to be replaced with signings, something that the Madrid board is doing perfectly.
This being the case, time will tell if the Colchoneros project will finally be exciting or not. But what is clear is that Artem Dovbyk and his agent could closely follow Atléticode Madrid 's performance thinking about how close they were to signing. However, it will be Roma who will be able to enjoy the Ukrainian while the red and whites will have other players in their ranks who do wish to wear the mattress shirt.
