On 28 May 2008, Shakhtar Donetsk announced the signing of Marcelo Moreno from Cruzeiro on a five-year contract.[1] On the same day, Shakhtar also announced the signing of Oleksandr Chyzhov from Vorskla Poltava.[2]

In January 2009, Shakhtar Donetsk sold Brandão to Marseille for a fee of €6,000,000.[3]

On 9 February, Leonardo signed a new contract with Shakhtar Donetsk, until 28 June 2013, and joined Vasco da Gama on loan until 30 November 2009.[4]
