The Pitmen rejected a transfer offer of 40 million euros for the midfielder
Head coach Shakhtar Marino Pusic I’m glad that the midfielder Georgy Sudakov remains on the team.
“Of course, every coach is happy when he can save one of his best players, that’s obvious. I am happy not only for myself, but also for the team, for the club. I think this is a good signal for Europe that we can keep quality players for ourselves, that we don’t sell just for the sake of selling.”
“As I told the players, they should always have the ambition to reach the highest level, but first they must work hard to improve and do much more. If you look at how Sudakov works… Honestly, from the very beginning, from the first second of my stay at the club, our communication with him was excellent. He is improving every day, setting a good example for other players, working hard and I think he will show even more progress in the next few months.”
“In general, I am also always happy when a good player and club finally decide to move to the highest level. This is good, a normal process in the football business. But now I’m very happy that he is staying with us to continue his development and make even better decisions in the future.”
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.
It was reported that the midfielder’s entourage is in talks with Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern. Georgiy is also on the list of priority targets for Leipzig, Juventus and Napoli. Barcelona head coach Xavi is interested in the Ukrainian’s services.
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.
