The legendary Ukrainian footballer, UEFA Champions League winner, Andriy Shevchenko is considering a return to the football field.
The 36-year-old former London "Chelsea" and "Milan" striker hung up his boots after last summer's European football championship, where A. Shevchenko was the captain of the Ukrainian national team.
The "Mitra Kukar" club, competing in the top football league in Indonesia, offers the Ukrainian a salary of 100,000 euros for each game played, according to soccernet.epsn.go.com. The interest of the club in Shevchenko's services is not hidden by "Mitra Kukar" manager Roni Fauzanas.
"We are still negotiating the details of a possible contract, especially the financial aspects. Andrei does not hide that he has nothing against playing a few matches for our team, but we are negotiating the number of those matches. We would like Sheva to play in at least ten matches, while his desire is for five matches. Also, we still need to discuss with the club management how much money we could allocate for this," R. Fauzanas said.
"Mitra Kukar" club mainly relies on local players, with only 4 foreigners in the club - two Australians and two Argentinians.
