Although Kevin Kelsy is expected to return to Shakhtar, it is uncertain if he will continue his career in Ukraine. Shakhtar is reportedly in negotiations with several European clubs regarding Kelsy's transfer.

Kevin Kelsy, a 20-year-old Venezuelan forward, was loaned to FC Cincinnati from Shakhtar Donetsk until December 31. Cincinnati is interested in signing Kelsy permanently, but the buyout clause in the initial agreement with Shakhtar is a financial obstacle. The clause is reportedly around 5 million dollars.
