According to the publication, the Bergamo club sent the Pitmen a request for a 21-year-old winger, but did not accept Shakhtar's financial requests for such a deal, which was ready to release Mudrik only for an amount of 35 million euros.

At the same time, it is reported that now Shakhtar's appetite for Mudrik has grown again: now the Donetsk club estimates its winger at 50 million euros.
