AS: Milan’s striker shortlist gets shorter – Dovbyk to stay at Girona | OneFootball

The list of strikers that AC Milan could sign next season has gotten shorter again as Artem Dovbyk is now expected to stay with LaLiga side Girona.

As has been reported by the Spanish newspaper AS (via Milan News), the Ukrainian striker is now not expected to make a move this summer despite being linked with so many teams.

It seemed that Dovbyk was the first alternative to Joshua Zirkzee if Milan are unable to get that deal over the line, but the report claims that he has now told his agent that he would like to stay at Girona for another year.

This is certainly a good thing for Girona who seemed as though they would have most of their team picked apart after an incredible season that saw them qualify for the Champions League.

The chance to stay where he is settled and in form, whilst still playing in the Champions League, is likely what proved to be the deciding factor for Dovbyk.

Milan are not the only team that Dovbyk has shunned with his decision. Saudi Pro League sides have made offers, along with Atletico Madrid, West Ham and Napoli. Dovbyk was part of the Ukraine squad that exited Euro 2024 at the group stage.
