Shakhtar star player David Neres is not going to return to the Pitmen's camp because of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
According to Brazilian media, the player is worried about the safety of his family and wants to change clubs.
The 25-year-old winger is expected to move to Benfica in July, who are already in talks with Shakhtar..
Neres moved to Shakhtar from Ajax this winter for 12 million euros, but due to the war he never made his debut in the Donetsk club.
The football season in Ukraine was suspended, and the football clubs received from FIFA the opportunity to continue their careers in other teams.
Shakhtar players Alan Patrick, Bogdan Vyunik, Vitao, Tete, Vinicius Tobias, Maicon, Junior Moraes and Fernando have already changed teams or gone on loan due to the Russian invasion.
