"Sheffield United," playing in the third league of England, wants to acquire Marius Žaliūkas, a defender from Edinburgh "Hearts," for 625 thousand euros. However, the amount could increase to almost a million euros.

According to the team's coach, Danny Wilson, the 28-year-old Lithuanian national team footballer is one of the main contenders to strengthen the team's defense.

It is likely that "Hearts" would agree to sell him, as owner Vladimir Romanov is not hiding his desire to reduce the costs of salaries. Žaliūkas is one of the highest-earning players in the team.

"Sheffield United's" season is not over yet: the team is fighting for a spot in the second league of England. The crucial match will be against "Huddersfield Town" eleven.
