The potential transfer of Israeli footballer Seti Lamkin to Partizan Belgrade has been abruptly halted due to political considerations. Shakhtar Donetsk, Lamkin’s current club, has reportedly refused to allow the move, citing Partizan’s participation in a preseason tournament in Russia this summer. Ukrainian football officials have condemned Shakhtar’s attempt to do business with a Serbian club that participated in the tournament in Russia, particularly during the ongoing conflict. Lamkin, a 21-year-old defender, has expressed a desire to gain more playing time and sought a loan move to Belgrade. The transfer window in Ukraine remains open until September 6th, leaving the future of Lamkin’s move uncertain.
