Artem Dovbyk could return to Roma early from Bologna loan

Artem Dovbyk could leave Bologna in January and return to Roma, with the Ukraine striker reportedly not regarded as a key part of the club’s plans.

The 29-year-old is currently playing for Bologna on loan from Roma, who hold his contract. According to transfer insider Nicolo Schira, the Italian club could bring Dovbyk back before the end of the season.

Dovbyk joined Bologna last summer on a loan deal running until the end of the 2026/2027 season. The player’s transfer value is estimated at 15 million euros.

He has made five appearances in the Italian championship this season and has scored one goal.
