The Deputy General Director of Karpaty, Oleg Avdysh, spoke about the interest of Brazilian club Palmeiras in midfielder Alexander Pikhalyonok from Kyiv’s Dynamo when he was playing for Dnipro-1.
“The current chief scout of Karpaty, Gleb Korneenko, when he was the chief scout of Dnipro-1, offered Pikhalyonok to Palmeiras, with which he has a great relationship, as he communicates directly with the club's sports director and management.
“Palmeiras was then looking for a player for the ‘eight’-‘ten’ position with a profile like Pikhalyonok's. And this club was indeed considering his candidacy in their long lists,” Avdysh said on the YouTube channel TaToTake.
Let us remind you that Pikhalyonok joined Dynamo last summer.
