“There is demand for Shabanov. And he is indeed being traded by “Shakhtar,” which sees Artem as a replacement for Nikolai Matvienko, who is attracting interest from “Benfica.” And I understand there is serious interest,” Vatsko said on his YouTube channel.

Recall that earlier there was information that Matvienko informed the Shakhtar management that he would like to move to another team and try his skills in one of the European top leagues.
