Bologna officially announce the signing of centre-forward Artem Dovbyk from Roma. The deal is structured as a loan with an option for Bologna to make the move permanent. Multiple reports state that Dovbyk is joining Bologna’s squad from Roma under this temporary arrangement, with the option to purchase his contract later.
The same reporting also links the transfer to a corresponding move involving Santiago Castro. Yahoo Sports reports that Castro moves in the opposite direction as part of the broader business between the two clubs, suggesting the Dovbyk loan is part of a wider swap or related negotiations.
Football Italia similarly presents the transaction as an official Bologna acquisition, highlighting the terms—loan first, then a potential permanent transfer through an option to buy from Roma. Across the sources, the key elements remain consistent: the player is Dovbyk, the destination club is Bologna, the current contract arrangement is a loan, and Roma retains a pathway for Bologna to secure a full transfer if the option is exercised.
