The striker of the national team of Ukraine Danilo Sikan became a player of Turkish "Trabzonpor". However, his transfer, worth six million euros, was not only a professional challenge but also an emotional test.
A 23-year-old Zhytomyr native spent four seasons in Donetsk, for which he had become an important part of the team. In an interview with Shakhtar's official site, Sican shared his experiences, commenting on farewell to the club.
“What do I feel? And confusion and pain. To go from such a friendly team ... This team is a large part of my life with which I spent probably my best football years. But this is football, and if you do not take steps forward, you stay still. We need to grow and progress. "
During the Shakhtar, Sikan spent 115 matches, scored 31 goals and gave 9 productive programs. Particularly striking was his performance in the 2023/24 season, when he scored four goals, including one in the Champions League.
Sican noted that he most valued the warm atmosphere and support in Shakhtar:
“I met both friends and teammates who have already left the club. Now my time has come. It is very difficult, but I understand that it is part of life and profession. ”
Transfer to "Trabzonspor" opens up new horizons for the footballer, but saying goodbye to "orange and black" was a difficult stage. For the Ukrainian club, Sikan remains a player who made a significant contribution to its success in recent years.
Now Danilo has the task of proving himself in the Turkish league and proving that he is ready for new challenges at the international level.
