Darijo Srna eyeing a new contract at Shakhtar Donetsk: Ukrainian Premier League news
Shakhtar Donetsk defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darijo-Srna-c10266, has reiterated his desire to prolong his stay at the Ukraine-based club, admitting that he sees no reason to sit back while he has the option of extending his current contract with the Ukrainian
Premier League champions.
The Croatian national had admitted that he will fancy a move to a bigger club, more specifically Real Madrid or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Barcelona-c39078, but now the club captain has refused to listen to any offers, pledging his future to the Ukrainian outfit.
The fact that the Croatian national has only six months left on his contract had alarmed the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC and Manchester City, who had failed to lure the Croatian national last year.
Srna has now quashed the rumours linking him with a host of European clubs, revealing that he is happy at the Ukrainian outfit and looking forward to repay the faith the club showed in him when he was signed in 2003.
“If I had not progressed here as a footballer, I would have probably gone. But where do I go from a team that had won the UEFA Cup two years ago and compete in the Champions League every season. We have great ambitions here. Miner
are one of the strongest clubs in Europe, so leaving the club makes no sense. Miner gave me a lot in life and I'm sure that I will end my career here.” The former Hajduk Split player was quoted as saying.
Speaking on the efforts made by the club’s President, Rinat Akhmetov, the Croatian Cup winner revealed that the Moles president has fulfilled his promise to establish Donbass Arena and helped the Ukrainian club by providing timely
cash injections.
The 29-year-old went on to reveal Akhmetov’s dream, to win the Champions League, and highlighted that if the Ukrainian club to win it, he would love to put his contributions into the team’s achievement.
Shakhtar managed to reach the quarter finals during the last year’s UEFA Champions League campaign before they were knocked out by eventual winners, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
