As Dynamo.kiev.ua has learned, Italian side Atalanta is interested in the services of 16-year-old Dynamo Kyiv midfielder and Ukraine's youth national team member Kyrylo Pashko.
The native of Kharkiv impressed the Bergamaschi scouts during the autumn qualifiers for the U-17 European Championship. During the elite round in Cyprus, the Italian scouts also followed the winger. Especially in the third round match against Italy. The club's scouts also paid attention to another Dynamo player, Osypenko.
"Atalanta was very pleased with the cooperation with Ruslan Malinowski. Therefore, it actively monitors the Ukrainian market. After the outbreak of the war, the Bergamaschi have already invited one of Dynamo's greatest talents, 15-year-old Oleksandr Dragan, to join the team. The Italian club wants to study Ukrainian players more carefully before inviting them. After all, nothing happened with Viktor Kovalenko, who never played. And Vladyslav Rusnak failed in the youth team, as he hardly played, and his family was in conflict with the club. That is why the Italians want to have more information about Pashko.
After the war started, Pashko ended up in Spain. But Dynamo managed to bring the player back and signed a new contract with him on improved terms. This season, Pashko is playing for Zorya's youth team on loan.
Dynamo managers see Pashko as one of the team's leaders in the future. Club president Ihor Surkis compared Kyrylo's talent to Tsygankov.
