DOVBYK’S NUMBERS WITH ROME – In a moment of difficulty for Roma, the former Girona striker who is the Giallorossi’s top scorer has passed away: five goals between the championship and Europa League in 12 games, as well as one assist; Dovbyk has scored two goals in three matches in Europe and scored three more in the league against Genoa, Udinese and Monza. Arriving in the summer for just over 30 million euros, Roma overtook Atletico Madrid who already had an agreement with the Spanish club and had almost closed the agreement with the player.
