The club intends to get ahead of its competitors
Ukrainian midfielder Shakhtar Georgy Sudakov continues to be shortlisted Barcelona.
The Catalan club intends to formalize the player’s transfer next summer. Coach Blaugranas Xavi is interested in the player, who is inspired by Sudakov’s performance in head-to-head matches between Shakhtar and Barcelona in the Champions League. It is believed that this factor will help the Catalans beat out other competitors in the fight for the midfielder.
It was previously reported that the Miners plan to earn at least 40 million euros from the Georgiy crossing. At the same time, Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin said that the Donetsk club rejected the request to transfer the midfielder for 40 million euros.
Sudakov is being wooed to the top clubs in Europe. In particular, the midfielder’s entourage is negotiating with Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern. Georgiy is also on the list of priority targets for Leipzig, Juventus and Napoli.
This season, 21-year-old Sudakov has scored three goals and provided one assist in 16 matches for Shakhtar. The midfielder has been recognized as the Miners’ best player for three months in a row.
Shakhtar ranks fourth in the UPL. In February, the Miners will play Marseille in the Europa League playoffs.
In the next match of the Spanish Championship, Barcelona will play against Betis. The meeting will take place on January 21. Xavi’s team is in fourth place in the standings.
