Metalist 1925 is looking for new teams for players who have been called up to the national team

The vice-president of Kharkiv “Metalista 1925” Yuriy Korotun named the players who are not part of the plans of head coach Mladen Bartulovich and will leave the club during the winter transfer window.

“From the current players of “Metalista 1925″, none will leave the team. We continue to work on options for Vladlen Yurchenko and Vasyl Kravets,” Korotun said.

Both players were previously suspended from training with the first team by the coach’s decision and continue to maintain their form with the juniors.

In January 2024, central midfielder Yurchenko moved to Kharkiv from Poltava “Vorskla” as a free agent. In the current season, he did not play a single match for Metalist 1925.

Wing defender Kravets joined the Kharkiv team in July 2024 from Zhytomyr “Polyssia” and also did not appear on the field in the 2025/26 campaign. Both players will become free agents in the summer of 2026 and both have calls to the national team of Ukraine.
