Shakhtar Donetsk continues to pay salaries to all of its Brazilian legionnaires who are on contract at the club, said Carlo Nicolini, the Pitmen's assistant football director.

" Anyone who wants to sign our players can do so by paying them a salary, but in June they will return to Shakhtar. Fernando, for example, was sold to Red Bull Salzburg.

Our Brazilians are at home, they are paid monthly, in June they will return to Shakhtar. We will participate in the Champions League qualification as the winners of the championship, as the draw is stopped and the table is frozen. We need to understand how we have to do it, because there is no championship. Other decisions will be made along the way, it is impossible to plan for the future now,"

Recall that the football season in Ukraine was determined to be incomplete, and the players of the 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.

Shakhtar goalkeeper Andriy Pyatov stated that the club's Ukrainian football players did not receive salaries during the war, and their contracts were suspended for three months.
