Shakhtar midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk commented Sportarena the price tag attached to it by Palkin.
Mikhail Mudrik— Yes, I read this interview. When I found out my price, I was not only surprised - I was shocked. I have a long-term contract with Shakhtar, I give all my strength and energy so that Shakhtar achieve maximum results. I really hoped that with my game I would be of great benefit to Shakhtar and the clubs in the European top leagues would be interested in me. I talked with my agent and I know that in the summer there were several offers for me from the clubs of the European top championships, but the club decided not to let me go. I accepted it as absolutely normal, because I fully trust the leadership of Shakhtar.
You see, I have all the respect for the Ukrainian championship, but every footballer has a dream to play in a top club and in a top championship - I am no exception. But I am 100% sure that it is unlikely that a player will be bought from the Ukrainian championship for 100 million. Sergei Anatolyevich says that the time will come. Maybe you are right. But I have my own opinion that for such an amount this time will not come soon, and maybe never.
After reading the interview with the CEO, I will not hide that I was very upset. The amount of 100 million sets the barrier for my transition to the top championship, which I so dreamed of. I can't say that my dream is killed, but wounded - that's for sure. But I'm a professional, I'm a Shakhtar player, we have a few difficult league games left that we have to win, and I'll do my best for this," Mudryk said.
