After the season-2023/24 ended on May 25, one by one Odessa "Chernomorets" players began to leave. And not only Ukrainians, but also foreigners.
For a month and a half a huge group of team members left the team. Most of them had expired contracts, some had expired lease agreement, and some left for other reasons.
In general, the personnel losses of the "sailors" amounted to 17 people, which is a little short of the anti-record, which was set after the end of the fall part of the season-2019/20: then the Odessa team left 18 players.
This summer, goalkeepers Danilo Varakuta, Oleg Bilyk, field players Ilya Putrea, Maxim Bragaru, Orest Kuzyk, Bogdan Boychuk, Danilo Golub, Ilya Ukhan, Nikita Sitnikov, Vladislav Shapoval, Vladislav Ogirya, Samson Ihede, Artur Avagimyan, Fabricio Alvarenga, Jose Gomez, Zigi Badibanga and Luka Guchek left Chornomorets.
Chornomorets are reportedly financially indebted to a number of players on wages and bonuses, which the club is obliged to repay.
