Fulham submit offer for Shakhtar Donetsk star Kevin
Fulham’s summer transfer window ambitions have taken a bold step forward as Marco Silva’s side intensifies efforts to bring in a fresh attacking talent. The Premier League club have reportedly submitted a new bid to Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk for their Brazilian star Kevin.
According to reputable transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Fulham’s latest proposal is worth €37 million plus add-ons, representing a significant show of intent from the West London club. However, negotiations remain challenging as Shakhtar Donetsk stand firm on their valuation, demanding a €50 million transfer fee before agreeing to part ways with the 22-year-old midfielder.
Kevin has quickly become one of Shakhtar Donetsk’s standout performers since joining the club, following in the footsteps of a long list of talented Brazilians who have thrived in Ukraine. In just 55 appearances, the dynamic midfielder has registered 16 goals and 9 assists, showcasing his ability to influence games both in scoring and creating opportunities.
His technical skill, vision, and versatility make him an appealing prospect for a side like Fulham, who are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new Premier League campaign.

Kevin’s talent has not gone unnoticed on the international stage. He has represented Brazil at U20 level, earning five caps and scoring two goals. His experience in international youth competitions underlines his potential to develop into a senior national team player in the near future.
Marco Silva has been proactive in reshaping Fulham’s squad to compete at the highest level. After securing a solid mid-table finish last season, the Portuguese manager is eager to add depth and quality to his attacking ranks. Kevin’s arrival would not only bolster creativity in midfield but also inject youthful energy and flair into the squad.
Fulham’s willingness to push their bid close to Shakhtar’s asking price signals a clear statement of ambition. Should the transfer go through, Kevin could become one of the most exciting young signings in the Premier League this summer.
With both clubs still apart on valuation, it remains to be seen whether Fulham will return with an improved offer. Transfer discussions are expected to continue in the coming days as the summer window approaches its decisive stages.
If an agreement is reached, Fulham fans could soon witness Kevin in action at Craven Cottage, bringing his Brazilian flair and attacking creativity to English football. For now, the transfer saga remains one to watch closely as the West London club aim to seal one of their biggest deals of the summer.
