Dnipro-1 Commercial Director Vyacheslav Fridman commented on the information that Spanish club Girona and the agent of Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, Oleksiy Lundovsky, are allegedly suspected of possible violations of FIFA's financial fair play rules and economic crimes.
Vyacheslav Fridman- Have you read the information in the press that Girona and Dovbyk's agent may be accused of financial fraud in Artem's transfer to Spain?
- Yes, I read it.
- Has Dnipro-1 received any requests from audit agencies?
- No. Dnipro-1 has its own contract with Girona. The agent has his own. The money for the transfer was immediately transferred to the club. All at once. In the first week after signing the contract, the money was officially received. I don't know what happened between Lundowski and Girona.
But if you ask me, I have a good impression of Oleksiy. I talked to him many times. He was often at the games, came to all Dovbyk's matches. I doubt it very much (the financial fraud - ed.). It looks more like some kind of a throw-in by his competitors.
- So you assume that this news story was organised by Alexey Lyundovsky's competitors?
- Well, I think it is. That someone wants to harm him. Nothing more. And Dnipro-1 has a separate contract with Girona. Everything is fair, the money was received for the club. We used it all in everyday life. The whole amount came in one tranche in the first week.
If you write about my opinion on Lundowski... He makes a good impression. That's his business. We did not interfere in the relationship between Girona and the agent. We don't know anything about it.
- To sum up, did Dnipro-1 have a separate contract with Girona?
- Of course. There is also an agency agreement between Girona and Lundovskyi.
- Was the Dnipro club itself satisfied with the work with Artem Dovbyk's agent?
- Yes, we are satisfied.
