Tymoshchuk moved to Zenit

Anatoliy Tymoshchuk left FC Shakhtar on Feb 28th. This one of our team’s bets players has signed a contract with FC Zenit, Saint Petersburg.

Anatoliy set a new record: the highest for the entire Commonwealth of Independent States transfer fee was paid for this player - $20mlns.

Tymoshchuk had played 9 years in Donetsk. In the course of his playing career here he had turned from a promising young player into a mature footballer. Playing for Shakhtar Tymoshchuk has gained precious experience and won love and affection of the fans. It isn’t easy for us to say goodbye to Anatoliy, Shakhtar captain. But it was his decision and the Club accepted it with all due respect.
