Darijo Srna: “Mudrik is not for sale. At Ajax, they would have asked for 100 million for him.

Shakhtar Donetsk football director Darijo Srna spoke about whether the club is ready to sell Mykhailo Mudrik.

— There were offers, but the president is not ready to sell Mudrik today. For me, Mudrik is the best player in Europe in this position after Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. And he shows it. The goal he scored against Ajax... Look on YouTube - I don't think that over the past 20 years you will find 5-6 such goals.

There are people who want to take advantage of the situation and the war and take away our football players cheaply. Their problem is that they don't know our president. Today, Mudrik is not for sale. When Misha reaches the top, then the president will consider selling him.

— How much does Mudrik cost?

- It has no price. As I said, after Mbappe and Junior, I don't see a third player other than Mudrik in this position in Europe. First, he is a decent guy. Second, professional. Thirdly, he loves Shakhtar. Yes, he said he wanted to leave, but now he is in his place and remains in the team. Mudrik has crazy potential.

I told him: “Misha, everything is ahead of you. You and Shakhtar can only grow. And when we see that you are at your peak and are no longer growing, then there will be a queue behind you.” The market makes the price. If today's Mudryk played at Ajax, then 100 million would be asked for him.

Mudrik is our footballer, our pride, our future, our leader. We expect more from him. But there is no need to put a lot of pressure on him. Let him enjoy the football field together with the team?
