"Shakhtar are preparing to formalise the transfer of another Brazilian - Palmeiras winger

Shakhtar Donetsk are close to acquiring Brazilian Palmeiras winger Kevin, according to a tweet by well-known insider Fabrizio Romano.

According to the journalist, the negotiations regarding the transfer of the 21-year-old Brazilian are at the final stage and the transfer may be officially announced in the very near future.

It should be noted that this is Shakhtar's second attempt to get Kevin. More recently, the Pitmen offered Palmeiras €10m and €4m in bonuses for the midfielder, but were refused. At the same time, the Brazilian club announced their financial requirements for Kevin's transfer: €15m in a one-off payment.
