Jürgen Klopp Endorses Shakhtar Star for Red Bull Football Group
Former Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp, now acting as a strategic advisor for the Red Bull Football Group, has shown keen interest in a rising star from Shakhtar Donetsk.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the player in question is the highly rated Brazilian talent Kevin, who impressed during an outstanding season in the Ukrainian Premier League. Despite Shakhtar's overall struggles, Kevin stood out as one of the most exciting young prospects of the Donetsk team.
Shakhtar are reportedly open to negotiations but have placed a hefty €50 million price tag on the 21-year-old, which could complicate a potential move. Talks are still in the early stages, and it remains unclear whether Klopp and the Red Bull hierarchy are willing to meet those financial demands.
Still, the mere fact that Jürgen Klopp has singled out Kevin for potential integration into the dynamic, high-pressing Red Bull system — which includes clubs like RB Leipzig, Red Bull Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls — speaks volumes about the winger's potential.
