Asked about the rumours linking Shakhtar Donetsk central defender and Ukrainian international Dmytro Chyhrynskiy (22) with a move to Barcelona (read more here), Shakhtar manager Mircea Lucescu has told journalists that his club has rejected a first bid for the player:
"Negotiations are ongoing. The fact that Barcelona pays attention to one of our players means a lot. They insist in holding talks and trying to reach a deal.
At this moment, our reply to Barcelona's offer is no. Each player, as everything in life, has his value and Barcelona offered considerably less than this player should cost today."
Catalan sports paper Sport meanwhile claims that Chyhrynskiy will be, together with Porto central defender Bruno Alves, Barcelona's main defensive target if the transfer of Deportivo left back Filipe wouldn't go through. Shakhtar would be willing to let the player leave for a transfer fee of 15 million euro°. Chyhrynskiy reportedly already told his entourage that he wishes to join Barcelona.
