Vitaliy Mykolenko: If Dynamo doesn't want me, I'm ready to play for LNZ
Everton defender Vitaliy Mykolenko has commented on his potential return to Ukrainian football.
Everton and Ukraine national team defender Vitaliy Mykolenko has shared his thoughts regarding a potential return to Ukrainian football. While he remains focused on his career in the Premier League, he outlined his preferences should he decide to return home.
I don't think I will return to Cherkasy, because I spent most of my football life at Dynamo Kyiv, since the age of 12. If I were to return to Ukraine, I would like to return to my home club, Dynamo. However, if Dynamo does not want me, I am ready to play for LNZ as well.Vitaliy Mykolenko
Mykolenko has been with the Liverpool-based club since January 2022. Since then, he has made 157 appearances for the English side, contributing four goals and four assists.
This matters because despite his established career in England, the defender remains deeply connected to his roots at Dynamo Kyiv, where he developed as a player. A potential move to LNZ represents an alternative option linked to his birthplace of Cherkasy.
For the Cherkasy club, such a statement serves as recognition of their recent progress in the top flight, where they have successfully established themselves as a competitive force in the league standings.
