"Shakhtar has sold the Ukrainian forward for €6 million."

The Donetsk "Shakhtar" and the Turkish club "Trabzonspor" have announced the transfer of forward Danilo Sikan.

The striker may make his debut for the new team in the upcoming matches.

The Ukrainian has signed a contract for 4.5 years, and according to media reports, he will earn about 1 million euros per year.

The transfer fee is around 6 million euros, which the Turkish team will pay in five separate installments rather than all at once. "Shakhtar" will also receive a percentage from any future sale of the 23-year-old Ukrainian.

Sikan will wear the number 14 jersey while playing for "Trabzonspor".

Sikan has been with the "miners" since January 2019. He has played 115 matches, scoring 31 goals and providing 9 assists. He has been a three-time champion of Ukraine (2020, 2023, 2024) and has won the Ukrainian Cup (2024) and the Super Cup (2021).

Background. Recently, "Shakhtar" defeated the French club "Brest" in the Champions League and kept minimal chances of advancing to the next stage of the competition.
