Shakhtar Donetsk director reveals insane fee Arsenal must pay for Mudryk
When asked if €40m will be enough to pry away Arsenal target Mykhaylo Mudryk from them next year, Shakhtar Donetsk’s deputy sporting director Carlo Nicolini told TV Play: “Is €40 million enough to buy it? We do not speak to these figures. Not even for fifty, we don't even call the president to make the offer.
“We value Mudryk more than Manchester United's Antony, paid €100 million. Floating between Arsenal and Manchester City? They are two teams that have taken an interest in the player.
“But there are also other clubs that can spend right away. We are not obliged to sell, we do not want to make phenomena. We don't want to shoot figures that aren't realistic.
"But in this team, he is the most decisive. If you want to take on certain players who make a difference in the top clubs, you also need the right money.”
The Gunners are reportedly eager to sign Mudryk as a possible replacement for Nicolas Pepe last year, with the Ukrainian winger also voicing his desire to join them. However, they're unlikely to pay over €100m (£80m) for his signing.
Mudryk has been in impressive form for Shakhtar this season, scoring 6 goals and providing 7 assists for them across all competitions.
