Lucescu was "captured" by Ukrainian bankers, - media

Ukrainian journalists referring to the information of their Turkish colleagues report a problem with money that suddenly fell on the head of Donetsk's Shakhtar head coach Mircea Lucescu. True, Lucescu himself refutes this information.

Money hung in the bank of Akhmetov

As the Turkish edition of Haberler writes, the head coach of the Donetsk "Shakhtar" got into an unpleasant situation in Ukraine. The fact is that in the country there are certain restrictions on money transfers. So, for example, 20 million euros, which Lucescu keeps in the bank of the president of the Donetsk club, billionaire Rinat Akhmetov, he can transfer within ... forty years, since you can transfer not more than 500 thousand euros per year!

Mister wooed in "Trabzonspor"

As the Turkish media write, allegedly because of this problem with the transfer of money, Mr. (as Lucescu is called in Shakhtar) was unable to start cooperation with the club Trabzonspor.

True, Lucescu himself, and not the first time, does not advise to believe the Turkish media when they write about his possible move to this country.

Interestingly, the information about the allegedly "orange-black" problems with the coach with a certain bank from Ukraine first appeared not in the Turkish media, or even in the Ukrainian media. It was published by the publication from Romania Ziua News.

Another version

However, even before that, the media reported that Mr. can not leave the Donetsk club, not only because of problems with the bank, but also because of ownership of land and real estate in the capital of Donbass. So, a certain edition Fanatik referring to its source writes that if Lucescu leaves Shakhtar, he will not be able to manage assets, the total value of which is about 50 million dollars.

Trust but check

However, the truth is that the president of FC Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov, taking his club to the vastness of Europe and trying to turn it into one of the European grandees, did a lot to make his offspring meet European standards. Therefore, all the rumors that behind the scenes of the club something is going wrong and not quite legal, usually crumbled to dust, not finding evidence in reality. Perhaps, with the current information about the problems Lucescu will be the same.

Real problems

In fact, Mr. has enough real, not contrived problems. And the main one is a civil war in Ukraine, provoked by what some call a "revolution of dignity", and others - a coup d'état. As a result, the beauty "Donbass Arena" - one of the best stadiums in Europe and Shakhtar's home arena - suffered from shelling, and Akhmetov's club is forced to play not only guest games but also home matches at foreign stadiums.

Recently a rumor has it that Akhmetov is going to return the club to Donetsk already this year and, accordingly, in the spring, will begin repairing the Donuass Arena. However, most fans doubt this development.
