Marco Silva pulls out, Sporting have a clear run to sign star player | OneFootball

Sporting has a clear path to proceed with the signing of Kevin, a winger from Shakhtar Donetsk. Fulham, managed by Marco Silva, has given up on the player and the footballer is poised to become the most expensive reinforcement in the history of the Alvalade Club, potentially costing 37 million plus 3

Pedro Sousa, on the Now channel, revealed that "Bernardo Palmeiro is in intense talks with Darijo Srna", who is the sports director of the Ukrainians, to reach this staggering proposal and "the player is tempted to accept the offer that Sporting is making", said the commentator.

"He is a 22-year-old player. He had a tremendous impact at Shakhtar, after being sold by Palmeiras for 12 million euros. Abel Ferreira never got to use him regularly because he was sold when he was still very young", he mentioned. The athlete was even in London to finalize the last details of the deal, namely the medical exams, but the Portuguese champion is still fighting for the signing.

With the possibility of signing Yeremay from Deportivo closed, the lions have decided to invest in the young Brazilian winger who has been standing out in Ukraine. In recent days, the lions also asked again about Konstantelias from PAOK, but the Greeks do not want to sell and therefore Sporting did not insist any further.

At the start of the 2025/26 season, Kevin - valued at 12 million euros - has been the main highlight of Shakhtar Donetsk's squad. The Brazilian forward has already played five games: three in the Europa League qualifiers and two in the Conference League qualifiers. In 401 minutes of play, he has already scored five goals and made two assists.
