Sergey Palkin, general director of Shakhtar Donetsk, in an exclusive interview with football.ua, also commented on the situation with Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He noted that he has no news from Mkhitaryan, that “Tottenham” and “Liverpool” have not submitted offers.
“There is no change in the matter of Mkhitaryan,” said Palkin. And our position is one: 30 million euros. That, by the way, is the only offer we received.
Mkhitaryan’s contract does not specify the compensation amount. It emphasizes only the amount of the fine in case of unilateral termination of the contract. He can pay Shakhtar 30 million dollars and move to another club. If we go the civilized way and sell his transfer, and he does not break the contract, the value we estimate is 30 million euros.”
Palkin said that if the amount offered for Mkhitaryan is not enough for “Shakhtar”, then Mkhitaryan will definitely be punished.
“Of course, Mkhitaryan will be punished. He did not show up for the meetings, and the contract specifies the sanctions to be applied in such cases. So it’s not a problem for us.”
