Shakhtar players Georgiy Sudakov and Mykola Matvienko are unlikely to join European top clubs this winter.
"Georgiy Sudakov is unlikely to move to Serie A this winter off-season. Napoli will definitely not have the Ukrainian. Firstly, Shakhtar rejected the Italian champion's official offer back in December. According to one of the versions I heard, it was in the region of 40 million euros. "The Pitmen are in no hurry to sell and want to milk the maximum out of a potential buyer.
The Neapolitans are currently completing the transfer of Hamed Traore from Bournemouth, which will cost them much less. And a plus with experience in the top championships and in Serie A, in particular. With him, the club closes the position in the centre of the field at least until the summer. After all, the Ivorian is on loan with an option to buy for €25 million, but not necessarily.
Traore also takes the last vacant spot for a non-European in the Neapolitan team. This means that Napoli will not be able to take Mykola Matvienko now either. Unfortunately. But Juventus has one place for a non-European," journalist Ihor Burbas wrote on his Telegram channel.
