Danylo Ihnatenko

Ihnatenko has been used primarily in European cup ties this season – one appearance in Champions League Qualifiers and five appearances in the Conference League – while two yellow cards are recorded in First Football League activity; the concentration of minutes in continental fixtures suggests a role oriented toward cup rotation and squad depth rather than continuous league deployment.

Ihnatenko is 29 and plays as a centre midfield for Slovan Bratislava. His career has featured multiple loan spells early on – notably at Ferencvaros – followed by a loan to Bordeaux in January 2022 that became a permanent transfer in July 2022, and ultimately a free transfer to Slovan Bratislava in September 2024, a trajectory characterised by temporary moves before securing successive permanent moves.

Key moves include a loan from Shakhtar Donetsk to Ferencvaros in July 2019 and a recorded R F loan movement in January 2020, a loan from Shakhtar Donetsk to Bordeaux in January 2022 that was converted into an undisclosed permanent transfer in July 2022, and a free transfer to Slovan Bratislava in September 2024 – a pattern of loans leading to a permanent stay and then a free move.
