Deal done: Kevin picks next club amid Sporting, Fulham interest | OneFootball

It's a done deal. Kevin will be joining Fulham, under Marco Silva. The 22-year-old winger who plays for Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk was sought after by the London club and Sporting, but he seems to have preferred the English capital's club and will be officially announced at any moment.

The news was reported by Fabrizio Romano, a journalist specializing in the transfer market: "Fulham secures deal for Kevin. Here we go!! 40 million plus 5 million in bonuses. Long-term agreement closed with Kevin. Despite Sporting's pressure, the player joins Fulham", as stated on social media.

Sporting's management, led by Frederico Varandas, got involved in the negotiations and was even in a favorable position by presenting an offer close to 40 million euros, including bonuses, in addition to offering a signing bonus of around 6M.

However, the club managed by Marco Silva presented a new offer to Shakhtar for around 40 million euros plus 5 in bonuses. The player himself was more attracted to playing in the English top division and declined the offer to join the Alvalade club. Also, Yeremay, a winger from Deportivo, slipped away from Sporting.

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