According to the well-known Ukrainian TV commentator and presenter Igor Tsyganik, negotiations on such a transfer were at an "advanced stage", and even Matvienko himself took part in them.

“I can say that there really were negotiations with Ajax. Even Matvienko went to these negotiations. I don't know about the physical, but the negotiation stage has been advanced. But now a week has passed since Matvienko was at Ajax, and I understand that it was not possible to agree," Tsyganik said.

However, it is difficult to assess the reliability of this information, since just a week ago Tsyganik said that Matvienko’s possible transfer to Ajax was a fake.
