Former Shakhtar forward Andriy Vorobey has expressed his opinion on the possible transfer of Shakhtar midfielder Georgy Sudakov to a top European club.
Andriy Vorobey"If Shakhtar believe that they can sell Sudakov for more money, then it is the right decision. Maybe the agents know something that we don't. But, on the other hand, 40 million is not lying on the road - it's not small money. From the player's point of view, Sudakov needs to progress and move to a stronger championship. Time will tell whether it was the right decision or not.
Of course, the player should be sold at the peak of his glory, especially after the Champions League, where Sudakov played some good matches. It is unclear what he will look like in the spring. Will Mudryk's case play a cruel joke on Sudakov, making clubs afraid to pay such money for Ukrainians? I think not.
"Chelsea saw for themselves who they were getting. They didn't bring Mudryk in a closed suitcase, they brought him with them. If Napoli or another club needs Sudakov, if he fits their scheme, they will pay not only 40 million, but 50 million.
Who impresses me more: Mudryk or Sudakov? They are two talented players, but they are different. Zhora does a lot of work, he's technical with a well-placed shot, and Mikhail has crazy speed. I would play with both of them. Mudryk just got into the wrong team, maybe he will eventually play at Chelsea. 40 million is very good money. He is worth about that much. We could sell him for that amount, but it's up to Shakhtar to decide.
I think Shakhtar and Sudakov had a conversation, and they have settled everything. The main thing is that Sudakov doesn't get carried away and think he's great because the whole of Europe is chasing him and offering him fabulous money. It can happen. He needs to understand that his career is just beginning and he needs to constantly prove that Shakhtar will sell him for good money to a top club.
I think that Sudakov would be best suited to Serie A. This is his championship. "Juventus or Napoli? Definitely Juventus, the Old Lady's scheme and style of play is more suited to Sudakov's position, because Napoli plays with three forwards.
Of course, Sudakov will need a few months to adapt, only experienced players who have seen a lot can play without warming up. I think Georgiy is ready to move to a top club. He did a lot of work at Shakhtar and wasn't afraid to take over the game. I think Sudakov will fit into any scheme of a good club," Vorobey said.
