"Kryvbas and LNZ will compete for Petryak, whom Shakhtar no longer count on

Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Marino Pusic does not see midfielder Ivan Petryak in his team and he may change clubs in the very near future, Sport24.ua reported.

According to the source, Kryvyirogorsk Kryvbas and Cherkasy LNZ are interested in the 29-year-old player.

The main obstacle to Petryak's transfer may be the term of his contract with Shakhtar, which runs until 2026. Under these circumstances, the Donetsk side are unlikely to want to part with the experienced player for nothing, and the big question is whether Kryvbas or LNZ will be able to afford the Pitmen's financial appetite.

At the same time, Petryak is currently without any game practice - he missed the entire first half of the current season due to injury.
