And I think that Dovbyk made a huge mistake by swapped Atletico for Roma, firstly he had several chances to stay in the team that will play in the Champions League (this is Girona), and there was a chance to go to Atletico, also a team that will play in the Champions League, and quite often their performance in the Champions League is successful, they often reach the play-off stage. But instead he chose Roma, which will play only in the Europa League and besides Roma has no ambitions to fight for the Scudetto, so I do not understand what Dovbyk was guided by when he made his choice.

Yeah actually first Dovbyk seemed like he would sign for Atletico Madrid. I really don't know what happened in the meantime. Considering for how much Roma has signed him, I assume it wasn't a money-related problem. After not signing him, Atletico Madrid preferred Sørloth instead. And I agree, Dovbyk was going to play Champions League football if he stayed in the La Liga.

I respect his choice but I hope he doesn't regret it later. Sad

I really want to see Roma also in the Champions League. But we will see whether they will be able to make it this season. We need more progress from De Rossi first to believe.

What Dovbyk chose is quite questionable. And actually, after Atletico Madrid failed to get Dovbyk, it turns out that now they have got a much more experienced player who was obtained from a big club, namely Alvarez from Man City. And it's just a matter of time until Atletico Madrid officially announces it. Yes, I also respect Dovbyk's decision to prefer Roma over Atletico Madrid and Girona. And Dovbyk even sacrificed the opportunity to appear in the UCL just to join Roma. And actually, although Girona is a small club, I think they are developing and could become a big club one day. Roma is indeed very lucky this time.
