Serhiy Kurchenko is ready to sell the Metalist football club. Kharkiv Mayor Gennady Kernes announced this in an interview with Mediaport.
"I spoke with Kurchenko, even before the stadium purchase agreement was terminated. I asked if he would continue to fulfill his obligations, including the construction of the new Sports Palace.
Because the city allocated him a plot of land back then, and today it's an abandoned building, and we'll need to sort this out too, because people were asking whether we'll continue the reconstruction of Moskovsky Prospekt, Marshal Zhukov, and so on.
"I asked him about the stadium deal, and he said he wouldn't pay. But regarding the team, he said he would continue to finance it. As far as I understand, if a buyer had emerged, Kurchenko would probably have sold Metalist. But I haven't been in touch with him lately. Metalist, if I'm not mistaken, is currently in fourth place," Kernes said.
Let us remind you that Sergei Kurchenko is on the international wanted list.
Kurchenko bought Metalist from Alexander Yaroslavsky in 2012.
