Where Milan and Roma stand in Dovbyk-Gimenez deal

Reports on deadline day confirmed that Milan and Roma are still discussing a potential deal that would see Gimenez leave San Siro for the Stadio Olimpico after just six months, with Dovbyk, who joined the Giallorossi last summer, moving in the other direction.

However, according to the latest updates from Sky Sport Italia, an agreement has not yet been found, and as things stand, the negotiations are on ‘standby’.

With several hours of the transfer window left to go, there could still be future developments, but if things remain as they are, with no agreement in place, the strikers will remain at their current clubs once the deadline passes.
