Shakhtar Donetsk Reject €35m Premier League Bid for Teen Sensation Alisson
Shakhtar Donetsk have reportedly turned down a lucrative offer from an unnamed Premier League club for their highly-rated teenage winger Alisson, according to Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola.
As per the report, the English club submitted a formal bid worth €32 million upfront, with an additional €3 million in performance-related bonuses — a total package of €35 million for the 19-year-old right winger. However, Shakhtar stood firm and rejected the offer, choosing to keep hold of one of their most promising young talents.
Alisson only joined the Ukrainian side earlier this year, signing from Brazilian outfit Atlético Mineiro in March for a fee of €14 million. Since then, the Brazilian prospect has quickly caught the eye with his pace, flair, and attacking threat on the flanks.
