Roma Join Kean Race With Dovbyk-Plus-Cash Proposal
Roma's reported interest could hinge on securing Champions League revenue so the club can press a player-plus-cash offer for Fiorentina's striker.
Overview
- Reports on Sunday, May 24, 2026, said Roma have entered the chase for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean and join Tottenham and AC Milan as suitors according to transfer-market coverage.
- Fiorentina are reported to value Kean at about €45 million while Roma are understood to be preparing a proposal of roughly €20 million plus Artem Dovbyk rather than a straight cash bid.
- Sources flag a practical snag because Dovbyk earns a salary deemed too high for Fiorentina's wage structure so Roma may need to add cash or find another solution to make a swap work.
- Roma's pursuit is described in the reports as contingent on Champions League qualification because the extra revenue would increase their ability to meet Fiorentina's valuation.
- The coverage is based on transfer reporting not club statements so no deal has been confirmed and the next steps to watch are Roma's final league result and any formal offers lodged by the clubs.
