Shakhtar chief Palkin says Sudakov to be sold as Arsenal, Napoli circle
Shakhtar Donetsk chief Sergei Palkin says Georgiy Sudakov can be sold this summer.
The forward has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Napoli this season.
Palkin said: "This summer window, he has a big chance to move to some big clubs.
“We have had some contacts with big clubs and some are not negotiating with us directly but are getting a feel for the summer environment.
“He will definitely move to a top European club this summer. When I was at Chelsea versus Everton on Monday, many people asked me about Sudakov."
He also revealed: “I told Napoli in January they could have him for €50m plus bonuses, and they offered €40m, but I said to them to close the deal now or lose this unique chance.
“Now, it will not be €50m. They would have no chance to do that now because we have many more clubs looking. The most interest will come from English clubs. For me, he will become one of the best midfielders in Europe and the world.
"We don't want clubs to seek discounts because we are at war. An example was for Mudryk. We are quite strong."
