– Oleksandr Usyk periodically plays for “Forested» in friendly matches, but has not played a single official match for several years. Is he officially a football player of the Zhytomyr club or not?
– Everyone remembers how in the summer of 2023 it was officially announced that Usyk and Polissy would sign a one-year contract. Oleksandr is really considered a football player of this team in the UAF database.
However, we do not know whether Oleksandr really has a valid professional contract with this club, or is simply included in the application for friendly matches, because the latter can be done without a contract.
In my personal opinion, this was not a real work contact, according to which a professional boxer was officially hired as a professional football athlete at FC Polissia LLC with wages, labor duties, social security, etc.
Rather, it was a PR campaign that, for some reason, did not have an interesting continuation. Let’s imagine if Polissia really owned Usyk’s contract, as well as the economic and transfer rights to this football player, then other clubs from all over the world could make transfer offers to the Zhytomyr team.
I am sure that the richest football clubs in the world would not mind taking part in such a performance.
How much could Polissya get from such a transfer? What would be the starting price of the transfer on Transfermarkt (now there is no information at all)? Who would be Usyk’s football agent for such a transfer? Skoropashkin said.
Usyk entered the field in a friendly match against the Canadian “Vancouver” and played 15 minutes. Ruslan Rotan’s wards defeated the opponent with a score of 2:0.
