Kevin will be presented on Tuesday as Shakhtar’s new player

The Brazilian will undergo a medical examination in Italy, after which he will join the Miners in Turkey

Today, January 14, winger Palmeiras Kevin flew to Europe. He is scheduled for a medical examination in Rome tomorrow, which will be carried out by club doctors Shakhtar. It is expected that on Tuesday, January 16, the Brazilian will join the orange-blacks at the training camp in Turkey and will be officially introduced as the team’s newcomer.

Let us remind you that the parties have already agreed on the transfer earlier. According to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Donetsk club approved the request of the Brazilian side in the amount of 15 million euros. Earlier it was reported that Shakhtar would pay the selling club 12 million guaranteed amount, and another three or four in the form of bonuses.

The Donetsk club traded Kevin back in December 2022, but then his 4 million offer was rejected.

Kevin himself wants to leave the team, where he receives little playing time and has no guarantee that he will play more often in the future.

In 2023, the 21-year-old footballer, playing as a left winger, made 11 appearances in the team that became the champion of Brazil at the end of the season. In total, including appearances for Palmeiras U-20 in the Brazilian Youth Championship, Kevin played 53 games, scoring 16 goals and providing six assists.

Shakhtar are in fourth place in the UPL, three points behind the leaders, but with two games in hand. The Miners will play Marseille in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League in February. The team is currently at training camp in Belek, Turkey.
