Atletico Madrid shift focus to Villareal’s Sorloth after Dovbyk’s dismissal

Roma are about to lose an important opponent in the race for Artem Dovbyk.

The Ukrainian striker is in talks to join the Giallorossi after negotiations with Atletico Madrid broke down earlier in the week.

In fact, Atletico Madrid are said to have changed targets and moved on from Dovbyk for good.

According to Spanish news portal Elgoldigital, Atletico have set their sights on Villareal’s Alexander Sorloth.

The Norwegian had also ended up in Ghisolfi’s notebook, but Roma had decided not to make the move due to Villarreal’s high demands.

Now he could end up in Madrid, while Dovbyk approaches the Italian capital.

The agreement with the 27-year-old has been reached, the one with Girona is still missing. The Giallorossi put 32 million on the table plus 4 in bonuses.
