Bulgarian Pirin lost three of its Ukrainian internationals at once - goalkeeper Maxim Kovalev, midfielder Dmytro Semeniv and striker Daniil Kondrakov.

The players decided to leave "Pirin" for financial reasons: for several months this club has been paying salaries to only part of the team (and even then, not in full), and the Ukrainians were not among the "chosen", according to the Bulgarian media.
As for the future of the mentioned Ukrainian legionnaires, only Kovalev, who will continue his career in CSKA Sofia 1948, is still certain.
