Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin confirmed that the withdrawal of midfielder Fred from the club is possible.

In the January transfer window there was a lot of news that the Brazilian midfielder "miners" want to buy Manchester City, Manchester United and other major clubs.

According to Shakhtar's General Director Sergei Palkin, Fred can really leave the club, so as a possible substitute he was invited to midfielder Vyacheslav Tankovsky, previously speaking in rent for Mariupol.

"We do not know what will happen to Fred.

It's unclear how this will end, and at the end of the season he can leave ".

"Already taking into account this, we invited Tankovsky, because he knows what kind of football we are playing, the coach believes in him," Palkin said on the air of the channel Football 1.

Earlier it was reported that in January Shakhtar refused to sell Fred for 45 million euros.
