FIFA agent Ihor Kryvenko spoke about the transfer work of clubs in the Ukrainian championship in 2024.
Ihor Kryvenko— All clubs perceive the invested sums not as expenses, but as investments. For example, «Dynamo» set high ambitions at the beginning of the year to qualify for the Champions League and the club fell short by one round. «Polissya» is developing rapidly and the investments in players are quite logical. And «Shakhtar» invested large sums in players at the beginning of the year hoping that they would increase in value to sell them successfully later.
It’s not worth criticizing these clubs for spending money during the war. The style of play deserves criticism, due to which our teams failed in European competitions. Ultimately, «Shakhtar» earned about 40 million euros in the Champions League, so they have the opportunity to buy players.
And Ukrainian clubs decided from the fourth round to attract free agents, who were obtained for free. In addition, they included players from stronger clubs on loan, and so far this policy is effective, — quotes Kryvenko E xpres.
