Neom, a representative of the Saudi Arabian league, is the main contender to sign Kevin Santos Lopes de Macedo, having offered approximately 40 million euros for the player. The transfer could bring Shakhtar Donetsk 40 million euros.

According to Tuttomercato, Shakhtar Donetsk has set a valuation for Brazilian left-back Kevin amid ongoing transfer speculations. The club is asking for a fee between 40 to 50 million euros for the 22-year-old. His recent standout performance, where he scored twice in a 4-2 win over Besiktas, has reportedly boosted his market value. It is suggested that if Shakhtar had not advanced in the Europa League qualifiers, they might have been more inclined to sell him at a lower price. Kevin's contract with the Ukrainian club extends until the end of 2028. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at €12 million. Clubs such as Bologna, Napoli, and RB Leipzig are reportedly interested in acquiring the player.
