Shakhtar General Director Serhiy Palkin, in an interview with the BBC, spoke about the club's financial situation due to FIFA's decision.
“If everything continues, then our losses will be at least 70 million euros, since 70% of the players will leave completely free of charge. We invested money. We bought these players before the war. On the one hand, we are losing investments. On the other hand, I still have to pay debts to other clubs that sold these performers to us. FIFA did not write to us to tell us: "We have introduced this rule, release all the players and let's discuss with the clubs you owe and somehow resolve the situation," Palkin said.
