Now, today, Portuguese newspaper A Bola have revealed that the unnamed Ukrainian club is Shakhtar Donetsk, but that the offer is yet to be finalised
Shakhtar’s current Brazilian legion already consists of Fernandinho, Jadson, Willian, Douglas Costa, Alex Teixeira, Alan Patrick, Luiz Adriano and Dentinho.
Leandro Damião is fixed on a five-year contract in Porto Alegre, so there is no pressure on the club to sell immediately. However, a €40 million bid would surely test the club’s resolve.
