Well-known journalist Serhiy Tyshchenko - about the continuation of the transfer saga of Shakhtar midfielder Mykhailo Mudryk.
Dario Srna (photo: terrikon.com)"Shakhtar" wants 100 million euros for Mudryk. The club managers talk about it publicly and compare Mykhailo with the transfer of football players that cost this amount. This is not just a fantasy of Palkin and Srna. Is PR. This is the real amount that Shakhtar plans to receive.
Palkin admitted debts of 37 million euros. These are the consequences of a stormy transfer campaign in 2021 - Neres, Traore, Pedrinho, Marlon. All were signed for payment. It is necessary to pay in installments. "Ajax", "Sassuolo" all the same that there is a war in Ukraine and it was not possible to sell assets. There is also a lawsuit from an Italian club (I think "Sassuolo" for Jurich) for 9 million euros.
The Champions League is like a minimum of 30 million euros. Now "Shakhtar" is the second. It will be difficult to fight for the first place without Mudryk for the "gold". Mykhailo brought more than one victory to Jovichevich's team in his class. I understand that the first place does not give the right to play in the group. But the path of champions is easier than the path of non-champions. It is one thing to play against the first teams from Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Sweden, Bulgaria, and another against representatives of France, the Netherlands, Portugal. Without Mudryk, it will be very difficult for Shakhtar to fight for the championship and qualify. Therefore, compensate for a possible failure to enter the Champions League if you want a football player.
Srna spent a lot when he got power at Shakhtar. Now he has to show that he knows how to sell and make money. If Mudrik costs 100, then the replacement will not be cheap. Clubs understand very well when a potential buyer has money. Other teams also know how to evaluate their football players and wait for a special offer," Serhiy wrote on Facebook.
