Former head coach of Veres Yuriy Virt commented on the rumours that the Rovno club could sign Yevhen Konoplyanka and offered him a salary of 20-25 thousand dollars.
Yuri Wirth- Yuriy Nikolayevich, tell me, how could Yevhen Konoplyanka end up at Veres?
- I do not know, this is a question for Viktor Vatsko. I don`t even know what to say.
- And when you coached Veres, were you offered him?
- No, where is Konoplyanka, and where is Veres? He had, I know, offers from Ukraine. But he is not ready to come to Ukraine and play.
- Do you think Konoplyanka could really consider options in UPL now, "Veres" could make such an offer?
- It is a difficult question, it is better to ask Konoplyanka. This is speculation, and what was actually... You see, here players play for one sum, and there comes someone who will earn ten times more. It's a little bit... It's better to keep the level that we have. So that there are not such big fluctuations in salary.
- You didn't consider such players?
- Yes, we considered 25 thousand hryvnias, just kidding. It's different things. We are not talking about those players, because it was unrealistic to invite them. If I was in the team, I would tell you what and how.
- Did Veres considered players of such a plan, stars on the decline?
- With our budget... could we consider top players? I talked to the players we could really invite, not virtual ones.
