A Ukrainian talent has become the star of a remarkable transfer to a Canadian soccer club.

Player Hennadiy Synchuk from Kharkiv's "Metalist" has signed a contract with the club "Montreal," which competes in MLS (Major League Soccer) in North America.

The transfer of the player turned out to be somewhat complicated and unexpected.

Initially, it was reported that Synchuk would join the Italian club "Bologna." The player even visited the club's training base and took a photo there.

After "Metalist" announced that it had sold the 18-year-old player (but did not specify where), information emerged about a transfer to "Bologna," but for the next season. However, for the first half of the year, Hennadiy was set to play on loan at "Montreal." It is worth noting that both clubs share the same owner.

Ultimately, "Montreal" announced the signing of a full 4-year contract with an option to extend for another year. The Kharkiv club earned approximately 4.8 million euros from the transfer.
