The offer from Ukraine is official. Metalist Kharkov. Today the offer came. We had other discussions, there were, but it never came officially. It's the first time he comes. The amount is 4 million.
We have stated that, for us, it is very important. If he were to leave, we would have set a target of 5 million, not 4. It is very important what he wants too.
