Dovbyk Speaks to Tedesco as Bologna Push for Loan Move

Bologna have stepped up their pursuit of Artem Dovbyk, with the Ukrainian striker reportedly holding talks with head coach Domenico Tedesco over a potential loan move from AS Roma.

According to the latest reports, Bologna are keen to bring Dovbyk to the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara on a season-long loan. Roma are understood to have opened the door to the move, leaving the final decision in the hands of the 29-year-old forward.

Dovbyk joined Roma after a sensational season at Girona, where he won the La Liga Pichichi Trophy. However, despite flashes of quality in Italy, his future has become the subject of speculation as Roma consider reshaping their attacking options.

The direct conversation with Tedesco is seen as a key step in Bologna's efforts to convince the striker that he can play a central role in their project, especially with European football on the horizon.

As things stand, no agreement has been finalised between the clubs or the player. The move now depends on whether Dovbyk is prepared to leave the Italian capital in search of more consistent opportunities.

Should he give the green light, Bologna are expected to move quickly to complete the loan agreement before the transfer window closes.
