Ranieri expressed confidence in Dovbyk's potential, saying he is a player who has shown positive growth. He noted that some players adapt quickly to a new team, while others take time to adjust.
Ranieri drew a comparison with striker Edin Dzeko, who had a significant impact for the team in his first season. He stated that Dovbyk has the ability to improve and that he is confident in the player's abilities.
When asked about the possibility of selling Dovbyk this summer, Ranieri preferred to focus on the present and future goals of the team.
He emphasized that discussing potential transfers can be distracting and prefers to wait until the end of the season to address such matters.
