The Italian club Roma is interested in Yukhym Konoplia, a 26-year-old right-back for Shakhtar and the Ukraine national team, as the club continues to monitor the Ukrainian market. Preliminary contacts regarding a potential transfer have already taken place between the parties. Konoplia has not extended his agreement with the Donetsk club and intends to move abroad. His contract with Shakhtar is valid until the end of September. Due to the European transfer calendar, a possible departure could occur either through an agreement between the clubs or in the winter as a free agent. The defender has 27 caps and 2 goals for Ukraine. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €5.00m. Valencia has also been linked with the player. It was reported that in February 2026, the Serie A club Sassuolo offered approximately €1 million for him.
