In January, Shakhtar rejected a €10 million offer from Midtjylland for their 20-year-old Brazilian winger, Lucas Ferreira. During the same transfer window, the Ukrainian club also turned down a €12 million proposal from Benfica for the player, who was wanted by Mourinho. Ferreira had joined Shakhtar from São Paulo in August 2025 for a fee reported to be €10 million plus potential add-ons. His contract with the Ukrainian club is set to run until 2030, and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €7.00m.
