Well-known Ukrainian TV commentator Viktor Vatsko spoke on the topic of transfers of Ukrainian clubs.
“We can easily decide the fate of great football players, because there is no pressure of responsibility over us. And here we are talking about the opportunity to earn crazy money for the club by Ukrainian standards. Of course, we had different cases. Fred was sold to Manchester United for 60 million euros. However, even at Shakhtar, there were no sales of this level over the next four years. How many years does this Fred happen? Once every three, five, ten? Here, it is quite possible that the next transfer of this magnitude could be Mudrik.
Are the leaders of Shakhtar right with their economic needs? Only time will show. On the one hand, the same Dynamo may already lose Tsygankov as a free agent, on the other hand, Yarmolenko was sold for 25 million, and no one can say that this was an unsuccessful agreement. And Konoplyanka, who was one step away from Liverpool or Tottenham, left Dnipro for free...
Only time and reality will judge everyone. After all, even in the summer I was convinced that Mudrik should be sold for 30 million euros, and now 50-60 million do not seem unbelievable. Everything changes on the field when you play like this against Leipzig, Monaco, Dynamo.
In general, the art of transfers is an instinct. Negotiator instinct. Psychological instinct. With someone you will burn out, and with someone you will have incredible success. With Mudrik, there are more chances for success, because there really is interest from high-level European clubs, and very serious one," Vacko said.
