Journalist Volodymyr Kramar spoke about the peculiarities of the transfer policy of "Kharkiv". According to him, the head coach of the team Mladen Bartulovich may not directly participate in the selection of new club players.
In the broadcast of the YouTube channel "BurBuzz," Kramar shared a story related to the transfer of Kaunan Baptistelli to the Kharkiv club. According to the journalist, Bartulovich allegedly found out about the new footballer only after he appeared in the team.
“Baptistella. I heard a story that in the morning Bartulovich goes out, some guy: ‘And who are you?’. ‘I am your new footballer.’ So they buy even without the coach. He says: ‘Who, who is this?’. ‘Well, our new footballer’.”
It is worth reminding that Kaunan Baptistelli moved to "Kharkiv" from the Brazilian "Cruzeiro" in February 2026. At the time of the transfer, the attacking midfielder was 18 years old. According to Transfermarkt, the Kharkiv club paid 1.5 million euros for the player, and the contract with the player was signed for four years.
