Ukraine star Heorhiy Sudakov confirms that Juventus and Napoli have made bids to sign him, but he’s not aware of offers from Manchester City and Barcelona.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports quotes from the exciting 21-year-old Ukraine international who is under contract with Shakhtar Donetsk until December 31, 2028.
When asked about offers from Galatasaray, Manchester City and Barcelona, the versatile midfielder replied: “I know nothing about offers from them. However, [Shakhtar director] Sergei Anatolyevich Palkin informed me about offers from Juventus and Napoli. Shakhtar rejected Napolis €40m bid.”
Sudakov extended his contract by six more months at the beginning of February and according to Corriere dello Sport, Shakhtar want at least €50m to sell him in the summer.
“I was a little upset at the beginning, but then I understood the club. I still haven’t given my all and the club want to get as much money as possible from my sale,” said the 21-year-old.
“Therefore, I agreed to extend it by six more months until winter 2028 because the previous agreement was valid until summer. Palkin has said I can go to Europe in six months or a year and trust him and the President.”
Sudakov is a long-time Juventus target but the Bianconeri eventually signed Carlos Alcaraz from Southampton in the January transfer window on loan with an option to buy.
The Serie A giants remain interested in Sudakov and the same is true of Napoli.
Sudakov has five goals and two assists in 24 appearances across all competitions this season.
