According to 90min, Brighton's competition in the fight for the 26-year-old is primarily three other representatives of the Premier League - West Ham, Leicester and Brentford. In addition, there is interest in Matvienko from the clubs of Italy and Germany, which have already made offers to Matvienko on a personal contract.

Recall that Brighton failed to get Matvienko either for 11 million euros or for 20 million euros - Shakhtar refused both of these offers. According to media reports, the Pitmen intend to earn 30 million euros on the transfer of their defender.
