Atletico Madrid are close to completing the signing of Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian striker, top scorer in La Liga with 24 goals for Girona, already has an agreement with the Colchoneros. According to Brandthe two clubs are said to be close to finding common ground for the 27-year-old striker. The player, for his part, is clear, he wants to play under Diego Simeone next season.

The Ukrainian, who scored 24 goals and provided 8 assists, was one of the key players in the surprise season of Girona. Despite a release clause estimated at 40 million euros, the Colchoneros are currently negotiating a slightly lower price with Girona, who are not totally closed to the idea. Dovbyk would arrive in Madrid with the status of reigning Pichichi and the heavy responsibility of replacing Alvaro Morata, who left for AC Milan.
