Journalist Viktor Vatsko said that the leadership of Polesie refused to sell midfielder Boris Krushinsky to the Portuguese club during the winter off-season:
“Polesie is the main favorite of the First League. This is PSG of our first league. I’ll say more, even after entering the Premier League, this club will immediately qualify for European cups.
Whatever one may say, the economy of the club is very powerful. I don't remember when a First League club bought a UPL player for $300,000. I mean the transfer of Boris Krushinsky from Lvov.
In winter, Polesie had an offer to transfer Krushinsky from Portugal. It was one of the middle peasants. This is not Porto, Benfica, Sporting or Braga. For Krushinsky they gave 1.5 million euros. Polesie owner Gennady Butkevich decided not to sell the player," Vatsko said.
