Shakhtar are interested in signing 17-year-old winger Ruan Pablo from Brazilian club Bahia. Representatives for the Ukrainian Premier League leaders have been monitoring the player's progress, and it is reported they are inclined to make an attempt to sign him. A potential deal is complicated by Pablo having been sidelined with an ankle injury since late January, and the timeframe for his full recovery remains unknown. The winger has made his debut for Bahia's senior team, making 20 appearances and scoring three goals, and has also represented the Brazil U-17 national team, scoring five times in 14 matches. His contract with Bahia expires on 31/12/2030, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €8.00m.
