Polissya Signs Bushchan, Kryvbas Lands Navi on Loan, Bukovyna Adds Paderborn Talent

Zhytomyr-based Polissya have made the loan move of goalkeeper Heorhii Bushchan permanent, announcing a contract until the summer of 2028. The 32-year-old shot-stopper joined on a free transfer after spending last season on loan with the club. During his temporary spell, Bushchan made four appearances, keeping two clean sheets while conceding six goals. The veteran will now stay with the Wolves on a long-term deal. Kryvbas have secured their first signing of the summer window, bringing in midfielder Aaron Roy Navi on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv. The 22-year-old Israeli will stay with the Kryvyi Rih side until the summer of 2027, with an option to make the move permanent. Navi spent the previous two seasons on loan at Hapoel Haifa, where he logged 31 matches, scoring once and providing one assist. Bukovyna have also strengthened their squad, signing 19-year-old Ukrainian midfielder Fedir Babak from Paderborn on a three-year deal. He will wear the number 17 shirt. Last season, Babak featured in 20 games for Paderborn’s reserve team and added three goals and four assists for the U-19 side.
