Nikita Krivtsov, who graduated from Shakhtar Donetsk, might continue his career in the third tier of German football, as Saarbrucken has shown interest in acquiring him. The Ukrainian winger has arrived at the club for a trial, and if he manages to impress the coaching staff, he will be offered a full contract. Saarbrucken intends to initially place Krivtsov in their reserve team to help him gain experience, after which he will have the chance to play for the main team. Krivtsov moved to Germany in 2022, joining FC Cologne from Shakhtar Donetsk's academy. During his time in Germany, he participated in the U-17 and U-19 teams, making 40 appearances, mostly as a substitute, while scoring four goals and providing three assists. Currently, Saarbrucken is in third place in their league, positioning them well for a potential promotion to the 2. Bundesliga.
