Bologna have officially announced their signing of centre-forward Artem Dovbyk on loan with an option to buy from Roma, following the news that Santiago Castro has moved in the opposite direction on a permanent transfer.
Recent reports indicate that Bologna have agreed to pay a fee of €3m to take Dovbyk on loan for the 2026-27 season and that they will have an option to make the transfer permanent for a further cost of €18m.
This move has gone through on the same day that Castro's move from Bologna to Roma was confirmed: The Giallorossi have signed the Argentine at a cost of €35m plus bonuses, with a 10% sell-on clause also included.
This marks the end of a two-year spell at the Stadio Olimpico for Dovbyk. The Ukrainian had joined in a €38m deal from Girona in the summer of 2024, following a 2023-24 season that saw him claim top scorer status in LaLiga.
Despite netting 12 goals from 32 appearances in his first season in Rome, Dovbyk's 2025-26 season was massively derailed by injury and fitness issues, which limited him to just 14 league outings across the season.
