General Director of Shakhtar Sergiy Palkin inspired by the sights of The Athletic.

Mykhailo Mudryk moved from Shakhtar to Chelsea for a record for the club, so Ukraine spent a lot of money. The amount of the transfer was 100 million euros with the improvement of bonuses. The 22-year-old winger has already signed a contract with a term for 8.5 years and has started adaptation in a new country and a new club.

Experiment: chi win Mudrik at Chelsea?

About the details of the record please, talk a lot more in an interview with The Athletic rozpov, the general director of “girnikiv” Sergiy Palkin.

- A lot of players in the clubs of the Premier League were flooded with a transfer. It was supposed that Mudrik went to Arsenal, but then, in 24 years, he arrived to Chelsea. If you understand that Chelsea will become a starting point for recognition?

- I realized this Saturday, if the spy Behdad Eghbali and the director Paul Winstenli arrived. The stinks arrived in Antalya, de Shakhtar, having passed the training selection at the hour of the winter break in the national season. Before the arrival of Chelsea, I didn’t care that the stinks were close to the transfer, because I spoke to Arsenal just like I did with them. I can tell you more: I have worked with Arsenal more times, less with Chelsea. To that, in front of the rest of the future, the Arsenal is nearer to you please, lower Chelsea.

- Skіlki razіv vi zustrichalis z Arsenal?

- If you don’t rahuvat telephone roses, then trichi.

- From our roses with dzherelami, close to please, I developed an enmity that in the Arsenal they were evangelized, that you will know a compromise with them, and we succumbed to the most grace in social networks, which marveled at the matches of the Arsenal. What, in your opinion, changed the situation? That was the readiness of Chelsea to fly to Turechchin?

\? Because Arsenal contacted Mayzhe Grave for the second month before they contacted us. You can tell, for example, that Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, their Ukrainian grave fighter Oleksandr Zinchenko and sports director Food called you Mayzhe every day, skin two days, skin three days? Whether you like it or not, you will follow the Arsenal, if the stench gives you respect.

If you talk about Chelsea, then the stench called me in the heart of the chest and powered me, so that the stench can call Mudrik, the one who wins them. I said: “There is no problem, you can contact him”. The first time the stench contacted him about the end of the chest, or on the cob of the day. The stench contacted the grave and the grave agent, and the stench pleased the financial minds. Why did the bagatiohs develop an enmity that Mudrik is going to the Arsenal? Because Arsenal first contacted him, and then Mudrik began to marvel at their deeds. Ale talk є talk. If you didn’t close everything, you didn’t put the rest of the dot, then you can’t complete the favor. Because Mudrik is close to the Arsenal.

- Chi bli іnshі clubs are close to pleasing?

- Please contact us, but not serious. So it was less than two clubs.

- We asked Arsenal, what would be right, so that the stench would call the grave before they talked to the club? Ring the clubs to snarl, if they trap.

- If I was in contact with the Arsenal, and the stench guessed that they were already talking with the grave and got in touch with the grave, honestly, apparently, I knew in advance that the stench began to contact him. I said: “Good, start contacting him, but first for all you are guilty, complete it with us“. Ale good, maєmo those scho maєmo.

- Otzhe, you did not file an official scarga before FIFA?

- We did not serve official scarga. The stinks were crushed by those who were crushed.

- We understand that in the residual propositions in the two clubs of the main figures were basically the same, but the difference was in the payment speed. Tse is right?

- Zagalom, bulo those same. Not approximately the same - the same figure itself. Permanent part, change part, bonuses. But if you marvel at the middle of the fixed part and the bonuses, then everything will be known in a different way.

- Yakim rank?

- Different schedule of payments, different bonuses. So, we can talk about bonuses, but the bonuses are due, but they seem to be real and real, let's say this. To that in the current moment Chelsea is richly serious and fair in real moments. If we hit Chelsea, we were all together. So you understand the context, ce Bulo 9-10 years. They asked for a grave and explained the whole project to us. We figured out that it’s so, so you’ll be surprised right now, Chelsea has problems, but it’s normal, they have a transitional period from one sack to another. Tse razumilo.

The stinks would like to change something. O, if they explain the whole story to you, and marvel at the next two, three, chotiri, five years, then you bachite, that they have a serious project. I believe that the stench will rouse one of the greatest clubs in the world, to that which I show you, the stench is even more serious in all directions: sports science, stadium, commercial side, everything. For us, the stench looked more ambitious.

- Our information is based on the fact that the pleasure of Chelsea transfers additional intelligence, as if the stench will win the Premier League or the League of Champions. Tse exactly?

- So. Pleasure may have bonuses.

- Chi є point about those that Mudrik wins the Golden Ball?

- The proposition of Chelsea does not have a paragraph about the Golden Ball. Tse reachable bonuses. Possibly, not in the same rotation, but in the nearest two, three, or chotiri rocky.

- Tobto, no term? Even if you win the Premier League or the Champions League in the 2029 rotation, the bonuses will still be there?

- Tse vіsіm rokiv, or this is half. Trivality of the contract in the vіsіm rokіv: sіm plus one.

- Mudrik if he told you: \? Abo vin bi check to lita, yakbi ve was not allowed to go?

- With Mudrik, we did not have detailed roses. Vіn buv professional, not shtovhav us. Vin doesn’t want to talk to us, to tell why they didn’t sell my yoga, or tell me why they didn’t sell yoga for 50 million euros, 60 million euros.

We just said: " We want to help you and we believe that we can complete it, just relax, train in a diligent rank and that's all "

There was no pressure either from the yogo side, or from the side of the agent. It’s possible, you know Bachili, like a Yogo agent giving an interview, to say that Mudrik is a professional, he trains well and that the stench respects Yogo belonging to Shakhtar.

- Chi rozmovlyav vin with Chelsea head coach Graham Potter in front of him, how to come to the club?

- Mihailo talked to him about them.

- At Monday, the President of Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov announced that the team will play a friendly match from Chelsea to Donetsk (as a part of Ukraine will no longer be paid for by Russian troops). Can you please clarify what is effectively stated in the transfer agreement?

- So, it's written in the contract. But really, we don’t need to read it in the contract, because Behdad spoke to our president. Behdad is more supportive of Ukraine, that is an American wine, and that is an English club, that is a positive tricutnik for us, that if you say England and Ukraine, it is important for our support of war at the moment.

The stench spoke more kindly and squeezed one hand to one. I know what I'm translating. Rozmov was more worthy of me and I respect that it doesn’t matter, it’s in the contract. Tse Behdad having proponuvav (in a friendly way), having said to him that he wants to help Ukraine, help the Ukrainian refugees and support the Ukrainian people.

For us, the whole match (at Donetsk) is buv b divom. We would hold such a match skin weekends, yakby could.

- Khnya Rozmova and Akhmetovim bula on the phone?

- Yes, on the phone.. On the cob of the war, without ever leaving Ukraine.

- It was reported that 25 million dollars to help the soldiers without intermediary for medical and psychological help, as they robbed Mariupol in Ukraine, or for the sake of their loved ones.

- Nі, tse vlasnі pennies of our president. Vіn itself vіddast at the fund. They organize a fund to help the defenders of Mariupol and the homelands of the defenders, who spent their people and fathers.

" We'll be better for Hazard" We spoke to Arsenal to tell them that Chelsea found favor?

- Before that, as Chelsea arrived to Turechchini, we realized with Arsenal that there were no chances to close the favor. If the stench propagated the residual proposition in the amount of 70 million euros plus 30 million euros (in the form of bonuses), we began to discuss it internally, as if we were going to change from the point of view of fees, the fixed part of that bonuses.

We realized that we will not be shy for the sake of Arsenal. I told the Food that it was possible to grow a mustache, but it was impossible.

- Otzhe, ce bulo relief, if we come Chelsea later?

- When Chelsea showed up, they just called and said: " We want to get smart"

I said: " I told Mudrik: "

I added: " We are ready to accept different scenarios. We would not hurry.

- Also, you need to be out of the \?

- Alec football light close. I know for sure that everyone knows what to expect. Three sides of Arsenal and Chelsea in such negotiations take the fate of a lot of people. For some reason, there are also a lot of journalists. Lots of lads, so they can give some information. Father, everyone knows what is going on.

- This is a record favor for a Ukrainian football player. What does it mean for Ukraine at the same time? Mothers are globally prosuvannya in the greatest light of the world, mothers of the ambassador with the Ukrainian ensign (like wearing Mudrik) at Stamford Bridge.

Mudrik's transfer to the top 20 most expensive transfers in the history of football. I don't like newspapers or TV channels. Ukraine took away a lot of respect in our world, and advertising of our country is not positive for us. Mudryk became the ambassador of Ukraine in the world. It’s more like me, having spent wine before the Premier League, the one who has the best league in the world, and also England is more supportive of Ukraine. This is one of the best countries for the new, which is important for us. For the whole world and Ukraine, an important transfer. We have a context: American Vlasniki, England, Ukraine - tsey trikutnik. Today we are close, as if by no means.

Tse important moment.

- At the hour of the past fate of Chelsea lay down (Russian oligarch) Roman Abramovich. Vіn zatknuvsya with sanctions from the side of the british order, the first nizh chelsea bv sales to the new vlasnik. Tsezh importantly?

- I think it’s so, that the yakby didn’t have a new Chelsea ruler, there would be a lot of criticism of our address through such links.

- Ymovіrno, impossible?

- Surely, it's impossible.
