Bologna might consider a move for 20-year-old centre-forward Jeff Ekhator if Dovbyk leaves the club. Juventus has not yet decided on the player's future, but if the club becomes open to a loan, several Serie A clubs could be interested. Parma had previously considered him during the summer. A return to Genoa is also mentioned as a possibility to enable him to play more regularly. The Italy U21 international joined Juventus in July 2026 and is under contract until 2031. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €18.00M.
