The summer transfer window is heating up, and Roma are set for a major offensive overhaul. While manager Gian Piero Gasperini prefers to keep his squad intact, the attack is primed for significant changes.
Several key players are heading for the exit. Ferguson, Zaragoza, and Venturino are already on their way out, while the contracts of El Shaarawy, Dybala, and Pellegrini are expiring, potentially ending their time in the Italian capital. But the biggest question mark surrounds Artem Dovbyk.
The Ukrainian striker has endured a nightmare season, logging just 625 minutes on the pitch and scoring only three goals. His campaign has been plagued by injuries, spending more time in the treatment room than on the field. Dovbyk has never quite clicked with Gasperini, who once described him as an "out-of-tune instrument." His last appearance came on January 6th in a win over Lecce, where he scored before being sidelined by a tendon injury in his left thigh that required surgery.
Now, a potential solution is emerging. According to Leggo, Roma are exploring a loan swap deal with Fiorentina that would send Dovbyk to Florence in exchange for striker Roberto Piccoli. The former Cagliari man has also struggled this season, netting just seven goals in 40 appearances across all competitions, with only three coming in Serie A.
For both players, a change of scenery could be the fresh start they need to rediscover their form and confidence. As the transfer window approaches, this swap deal could be one to watch for Serie A fans and fantasy football managers alike.
