The transfer saga involving Artem Dovbyk and SSC Napoli has taken a surprising new twist. Just when it seemed the story had reached its end, fresh reports suggest the Neapolitan club has reignited its pursuit of the Ukrainian striker.

According to renowned transfer insider Matteo Moretto, Napoli have officially tabled a substantial six-year contract offer to Dovbyk's representatives. The proposed deal reportedly includes an annual salary of €3 million, underlining the club’s intention to secure Dovbyk not as a short-term fix, but as a key long-term asset.

This ambitious move indicates that Napoli are looking beyond temporary cover for the injured Romelu Lukaku, and instead view Dovbyk as a central figure in their attacking plans for the future.

While talks between Napoli and AS Roma have yet to formally begin, Moretto notes that Roma—despite valuing Dovbyk highly—were initially only open to a loan deal rather than a permanent transfer. However, with Roma reportedly placing the Ukrainian international on the transfer list as of yesterday, that stance may soon shift.
