Long-term deal closed with Kevin. Despite pressure from Sporting, the player joins Fulham", can be read on social media.

The SAD leonine, led by Frederico Varandas, interfered in the negotiations and even managed to be in a position of advantage by presenting a proposal close to 40 million euros, already with bonuses included, in addition to offering a signing bonus in the region of 6M.

However, the club led by Marco Silva presented a new offer to Shakhtar for amounts around 40 million euros plus 5 for objectives. The footballer himself was more enticed to play in the main English division and declined the proposal to head to the emblem of Alvalade. Also, Yeremay, winger of Deportivo, escaped the lions.
