The current champion of Ukraine has successfully negotiated with one of his students to extend the contract. This was announced on his Instagram account by the general manager of the Donetsk miner, Sergei Palkin.

The new agreement is designed for five years, according to the club’s official website.

Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin made an inspiring comment after successful negotiations: “First of all, I would like to congratulate Viktor, because for a young man, a Ukrainian from our Academy, entering the Shakhtar base is quite an important step forward. ”

“I am very happy for him. Why? Because it is very difficult to start playing in this position at our club. This position requires many qualities and characteristics that, fortunately, Kornienko possesses. this position, you still need to have speed, technique, be able to defend and attack, “concluded Palkin.

As it became known after the match with Inter Milan (0: 0), scouts from many clubs were present at the fights, but the Shakhtar CEO denies any possible interest in Kornienko on his part at this time: “First, it seems early to me. If Shakhtar leaves the group, there will be a completely different story, then the scouts and the clubs will see in this a systematic approach, a systemic work not only of the whole team and the whole club, but also of individuality on the field. It seems to me that everything is ahead. And that there will be proposals in this regard, I think it is not ambiguous. “

The Ukrainian nominal flank midfielder graduated from the Poltava Vorskla Sports School and began his football career for the Ternopil and Illichivets children’s teams. He signed his first contract with Shakhtar Donetsk in the summer of 2016, but played mainly for teams in the Under-19 and Under-21 categories.

Kornienko spent the 2019/20 season with Mariupol, where he scored a goal in 19 games, after which he returned to Pitmen’s camp, serving in an urgent need to replace injured left-back Ismaily. This season, Viktor has played six games in the Ukrainian Premier League and played two games in the UEFA Champions League, scoring one goal in each of the competitions.

Donetsk Shakhtar’s next game will take place within the Ukrainian Premier League. The Pitmen’s rivals are Mariupol, for whom Kornienko played last year.
