This month, Ukraine marks two years since the Russian invasion of its territory and the start of the war, which also had a dramatic effect on local football.
At that time, Manor Solomon played for Shakhtar Donetsk, and following the rules that FIFA established regarding foreign players in Ukraine, he moved to Fulham a few months later without compensation. His original contract with Shakhtar expired during last season, and in the summer he signed as a free agent at Tottenham. This means that the Oranges did not receive money for The Israeli winger, and they are really not satisfied with that.
Shakhtar CEO Sergey Falkin was interviewed and said: "Tottenham signed a player with a market value of at least 18 million euros. He reached this value thanks to us, we invested, brought him to Ukraine and promoted him. I had contacts Long with Tottenham and I got tired. I'm waiting for a final feedback and then there are two options - either we accept what they offer us, or we go to court."
Will the Solomon issue reach the court?

"There is a legal and moral issue here, when someone in the football family is in trouble, they have to deal with the moral issue," Falkin continued, "FIFA can do a lot, much more than it can imagine.
We said that we do not rush them to return the money to us.
Let's organize a fundraiser for Ukraine and Ukrainian football, in the war we lost a lot of football facilities.
FIFA promotes slogans that we are a family, but Ukraine is part of that family. What did they do? They just took our players and led us into debt."
Falkin also addressed the issue of the Super League, and he also joined the list of opponents of the project: "I don't understand this league, why should anything be changed? UEFA has developed in the last decade, it has increased the number of games and establishments.
The Super League makes us not go to the fields, just turn on the TV and watch the big teams against each other.
The rich will get richer and the rest will disappear.
The Super League is not related to football, only to money."
