Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian «Novara» Maksym Bodnaryuk, who plays for the youth team of this club, has caught the interest of the Romanian national team.
The 16-year-old Ukrainian is a native of Chernivtsi. The midfielder started in the system of Chernivtsi «Bukovyna» and played with the current wonderkid of «Barcelona,» Artem Ryback. After the war began, he ended up in Italy. Now he is one of the leaders of «Novara» in his age category.
Representatives of the Romanian youth national teams were watching the match of «Novara» against a team where a Romanian legionnaire played, but they noticed Bodnaryuk. Romanian scouts want to take advantage of the fact that Maksym was born in Bukovina. Additionally, the 16-year-old midfielder has not yet been called up to the Ukraine U-16 national team.
