Shakhtar General Director Sergei Palkin spoke about the peculiarities of the transfer work for the club in the minds of a full-scale war. In his words, the Brazilian is directly deprived of an important part of the Donetsk team’s strategy.

The official learned that it would be easier to immediately transfer a foreign football player to join the Ukrainian club, but Shakhtar makes another important argument - opportunities for professional development.

" It urges us to adapt, to quickly praise the decision and analyze it deeply. The Brazilian Gravians are part of our identity, and Shakhtar is known to the Brazilian Gravians themselves.. So we can't be bothered.

We do not sell comfort, even if it is impossible for our mother, if there is war in the country. “We are selling, let’s say, a quarry factory, a quarry development, because everyone understands that if the stench comes to Shakhtar, then it’s the shortest route to the five shortest leagues in Europe,” said Palkin.

The Brazilians will be outnumbered at Shakhtar's warehouse. Zokrema, 14 representatives of Brazil have left before the team's application for the Champions League season 2026/27.
