Palkin revealed that discussions are currently underway and hinted that a deal is likely to be reached. Although he declined to disclose the financial details, he expressed confidence that the agreement will be concluded on favorable terms for Shakhtar Donetsk.
Palkin emphasized that Sudakov is a valuable asset, and the club is open to negotiations with other interested parties if Napoli fails to meet their asking price. He noted that the player can attract interest from various teams, including those in Italy and England, citing the example of Mykhailo Mudryk, who was previously sold to Chelsea.
It has been suggested that if Napoli cannot meet Shakhtar's requirements, Sudakov may be offered to Brentford instead.
