Negotiations were held between Mateus Izepe and Karpaty, and the club planned to purchase a ticket to Europe for the player. Ultimately, Karpaty decided not to sign Mateus Izepe after reaching an agreement with Dynamo for the loan of Valentin Rubchinsky and the return of Bruninho to the team. The transfer of Mateus Izepe could have cost approximately one million euros. The purchase of the player was previously insisted upon by Karpaty's chief scout Gleb Kornienko, who left the club in the middle of January.

Karpaty Lviv is in negotiations to acquire the midfielder Mateus Izeppe from the Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro.

Karpaty is interested in 19-year-old central attacking midfielder Mateus Izeppe from the Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro. Karpaty is actively pursuing the player. This interest coincides with reports from a number of insiders that Karpaty is preparing to sell their central midfielder Oleg Fedor to Polissia. Karpaty and Atletico Mineiro have collaborated previously; Karpaty signed Bruninho from Atletico Mineiro, initially on loan, before purchasing his contract after a successful season. Izeppe's contract with Atletico Mineiro expires on July 31, 2026, and he has made two appearances in the current Campeonato Mineiro season.
