Former Chairman of the Moscow “Spartak” Andrei Chervichenko admitted he was not surprised by the defender’s departure Dejana Lovrena of “Zenith “.
– Why be surprised? Lovren has played well in the World Cup. For “Zenith”, it is already a bit old. It’s good that they had money for it. Zenit must rejuvenate the squad anyway. Their problem is that there is no speed behind it. They have experienced defenders, but not very fast.
Is it difficult to find an equivalent replacement for Lovren? See how they look. As you can see, Spartak can’t find a replacement for Gigot. There is always a risk that you will buy a player, and in six months he will express great gratitude and leave.
Until then, you can’t take anyone seriously. You can only take risks, but I don’t know. Maybe the lawyers have found some kind of formula to avoid such a departure, but I haven’t heard of it yet, Chervichenko told The Championship.
Zenit announced the transfer of Lovren to French Lyon on Monday. The 33-year-old Croatian has been playing for St. Petersburg since 2020. In their squad, he twice became the champion of Russia. In December last year, Lovren, with the Croatian national team, became the World Cup bronze medalist.
