Football agent Alexei Alekhin, representing the interests of the young midfielder of Shakhtar Donetsk Mikhail Mudrik, clarified the immediate future of his client, who, we recall, has been associated with the impending transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in recent months.

With all due respect to the championship of Ukraine, we understand that due to the current situation in our country, the championship this year will be much weaker than the previous ones.
The departure of legionnaires, holding matches on not the best fields, many hours of bus travel, of course, are unlikely to contribute to the player's progress. My opinion is that if there had been no war, then Shakhtar would be the best option to continue Misha's career. As they say, the war has confused all the cards.
Having received, in my opinion, several solid financial offers both for the club and for the player, and given what is happening in our country, the player and I hoped that Shakhtar would accept one of them. But at the moment, Shakhtar has rejected all offers. The club wants to get more solid compensation.
It's nice that Shakhtar's football director Darijo Srna highly appreciated Mudrik, putting him on a par with world football stars. It's also nice that in recent years Shakhtar has invested a lot of money in talented legionnaires, but Mykhailo Mudryk turned out to be the most sought-after and most expensive.
A football player wants to grow, a football player wants to develop, play at the highest level and defend the colors of the national team. At the moment, Mikhail Mudryk is a Shakhtar player, he treats his club with respect, is a great professional and gives 100% both in official matches and in training," Alekhin said.
