Season summary

On 1 July, Shakhtar rejected a $7,000,000 offer from Palermo for Matuzalém.[1]

On 13 July, Shakhtar announced the signing of Cristiano Lucarelli from Livorno, to a three-year contract, for a fee of €8,000,000.[2]

On 28 July, Shakhtar announced the signing of Ilsinho from São Paulo, to a four-year contract, with conditional fifth year, for a fee of €10,000,000.[3]

On 31 July, Shakhtar announced the signing of Nery Castillo from Olympiacos, to a five-year contract, for a fee of €20,000,000.[4]

On 2 August, Elano left Shakhtar to sign for Manchester City for a fee of £8,000,000.[5]

On 23 August, Shakhtar announced the signing of Willian from Corinthians, to a five-year contract, for a fee of $19,000,000.[6]

On 18 December 2007, Manchester City announced the year-long loan signing of Nery Castillo from Shakhtar, commencing on 1 January.[7]

On 15 January, Cristiano Lucarelli left Shakhtar to sign for Parma for a fee of €5,700,000.[8]

On 27 January, Oleksiy Byelik left Shakhtar to join VfL Bochum on loan for the remainder of the season.[9]

On 25 March, Leonardo joined São Caetano on loan until 30 November 2008.[10]

Matuzalém saga

On 2 July, Matuzalém notified Shakhtar in writing that he was terminating their contract with immediate effect. On 5 July, Shakhtar responded stating that Matuzalém and/or his new club should pay the release clause in his contract of €25 million, or that they would take legal action.[1]

On 18 July, Real Zaragoza presented Matuzalém as their newest signing.[11]

On 2 November, Shakhtar's case with Matuzalém was considered by FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC), ruling that Matuzalém and Zaragoza were jointly and severally liable, ordering a payment of €6,800,000 to Shakhtar.[1][12]

On 19 March, Shakhtar appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) that the fee for Matuzalém set by FIFA DRC was too low, with Matuzalém and Zaragoza making a counter appeal to CAS for the compensation the following day.

On 19 May, the CAS ordered Matuzalém to pay €11,858,934 to Shakhtar for breach of contract.[13][14] The decision was upheld by the Swiss Federal Tribunal.[15]

Zaragoza would also later pay Shakhtar €500,000, on 1 September 2010, as part of the Matuzalém sage.[16]
