Atlético Mineiro is actively interested in signing 20-year-old Brazilian winger Lucas Ferreira from Shakhtar. The Ukrainian club, which signed Ferreira from São Paulo last summer for 12 million euros, understands the player is not receiving adequate playing time and is ready to consider a loan. Atlético Mineiro would like to loan the player for one season, an option they consider economically acceptable, and his salary is not expected to be an obstacle. The longstanding good business relationship between the two clubs, which previously saw them conduct deals for players like Bernard and Pedrinho, could also facilitate the transfer. Ferreira's contract with Shakhtar runs until June 2030 and his market value is €7.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Other clubs, including Benfica and Midtjylland, have also been linked with the player.
