De Rossi: Dovbyk gives us depth. With him we can play vertically

Artem officially moved to Roma at the beginning of August

Mentor Roma Daniele De Rossi spoke about working with the Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbik.

“Dovbyk gives us depth. With him we can play vertically. That’s what we need and what I always ask for.”

“If there is no one who stretches the opponent with possession and building from deep, our possession becomes sterile and we become predictable. We have to be ready to play at all times, move vertically and surprise the opponent.”

Dovbyk officially transferred to Roma in early August. Artem became the first Ukrainian in the history of the Wolves. At the same time, Atletico was considered the main contender for the forward for a long time, which, after the failure with the transfer of Dovbyk, signed the forward of Villarreal Alexander Sørloth.

According to previously published information, the transfer cost Roma 32-33 million euros and 5-6 million in bonus payments. Girona will also receive a certain percentage from the resale of the Ukrainian.

The footballer’s contract runs until 2029. Artem’s annual salary in Roma will be three million euros, excluding bonuses.

Roma open the season on August 18 with an away match against Cagliari in the opening round of Serie A.
