Fiorentina eye Dovbyk as €20m fallback for Kean in Florence

Fiorentina face a potential void up front if Moise Kean departs, and the Viola have turned their attention to Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk as a possible replacement, with a fee under €20 million and a €3.5 million salary on offer in Florence.

Kean's future remains uncertain, with he could leave Florence for an offer close to €40 million, making him the primary focus of the Viola attack.

Compared with last summer, the club is more confident about the likelihood of Kean's departure after a less impressive season that yielded 25 goals across league and cup competitions.

Roma appear ready to move Dovbyk permanently for a fee under €20 million, even if it means recording a small capital loss.

Dovbyk’s proposed salary of roughly €3.5 million is lower than Kean’s €4.5 million wage, although Kean is eligible for the Growth Decree.

The 29‑year‑old striker ended last season with just three goals, but previously scored 24 at Girona, and could seek a revival under Fiorentina coach Fabio Grosso.

Should Kean move to another club, Fiorentina will likely turn its attention to Dovbyk, though the deal hinges on Roma’s willingness to accept a loss and on the Ukrainian adapting to Serie A.
