'I am donating $25m (£20.4m) of the transfer fee to help our soldiers, defenders and their families.'
Date published: Monday 16th January 2023 12:58 -Shakhtar Donetsk owner Rinat Akhmetov will donate more than £20million of the transfer fee received from Chelsea for the sale of Mykhaylo Mudryk to help support those affected by the war in Ukraine.
It is the highest transfer fee ever received by a Ukrainian club, and comes as a financial boost for Shakhtar after the Court of Arbitration for Sport last week ruled that FIFA acted legally in allowing foreign players to cancel their contracts at Ukrainian clubs following Russia’s invasion last February. Shakhtar claimed they had lost out on more than £35m in transfer revenue.
“I am donating $25m of the transfer fee to help our soldiers, defenders and their families. The money will be used to cover different needs, from providing medical and prosthetic treatment and psychological support, to meeting specific requests. It will be managed by an independent professional team that will work with the Azovstal defenders, their families, care providers and volunteers.”
It was reported in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February that Akhmetov would donate more than £80m to the war effort, with his company, System Capital Management, paying £28m in advanced taxes to shore up the state’s finances.
