Ukrainian forward of Polish "Rakow" Vladyslav Kocherhin commented on the transfer rumors surrounding him.
Vladyslav Kocherhin— Vladyslav, how true are the rumors about the specific interest in you from "Los Angeles" and unnamed clubs from Italy, Belgium, Turkey, Ukraine, and Asia?
— I don’t even know what to answer you. I can’t say yet if it’s true or not. (Smiles). Of course, I am pleased that other clubs are interested in me, but… My agents can answer this question more specifically. Currently, I am with "Rakow" during the training camp (in the last friendly match, the team from Czestochowa defeated the Czech "Sigma", 3:2, Kocherhin started but did not score — note of the editor).
— And still, as it is known, there’s no smoke without fire. I’m sure that the management of "Rakow" has heard or read the news about you. Have they offered to extend the contract, which expires at the end of June this year, in light of this?
— Yes, I have a contract with "Rakow" until June 30, but it has an extension option. It’s not automatic. We will decide with the club.
— I see, you are a tough nut to crack; you don’t want to "crack." Still, how interesting would it be to play in MLS? Or is it better to stay in Europe?
— Once there is some clarity, I will give you a clear answer to this question. For now, I can respond with anything — and what? I am not thinking about MLS yet.
