Brazilian sports journalist Fabio Aleixo on air MATCH PREMIER spoke about transfer politics “Zenith” in the South American market.
– Will we benefit as so many South Americans, Paraguayans, Colombians, not just Brazilians?
— Now it is difficult to do anything in the European market for Russia. But if you look at South America at the same time, then yes, there are a lot of players there, there is quality and quantity, so I think those are options for Russian clubs. For example, Fernandez from Paraguay flew to Dynamo, we saw Yuri Alberto, Ivan, Mantua. I think it may be a trend. To be honest, I don’t see anything wrong. If the player has quality, then why not. You can also see the indoor market. But Zenit has a lot of money, the task is to become a champion, so he turned to South America. It is the same “Dynamo” with Balbuena, Varela. Many Brazilians have already played in Russia, especially at Zenit.
– Is Zenit a club from which you can go to a big European?
– If he played in the Champions League or the Europa League, such a prospect would be drawn. But now I think for the Brazilians at Zenit money is the most important factor. Zenit pays such a high salary for such quality. Money helps a lot.
– Do the names of the Brazilian players of Zenit flash in the media of their country? Are they followed?
– people know Malcolm and claudinho . Know how they play in Russia, given their prospects for the Brazilian national team. There was a problem in the selection for the World Cup, when they were in the national team, and Zenit asked them to come back. And after that they were not called up to the national team again. They are under study. Palmeiras would be ready to buy Claudinho. If I understand correctly, that is not true. Until the summer, he, Malcolm and Wendel remain. But the clubs in Brazil are watching them. They are very popular.
Yuri Alberto is hard to say. He scored a lot when he played. Showed good football. He moved to the Corinthians. And, as I understand it, he no longer wanted to play in Russia. The Corinthians do everything to keep it. And many fans of this club are not very happy that Zenit received so much.
– Say a few words about Renan and De Queiroz.
– Renan is a very good defender, I think the future player of the Brazilian national team. De Queiroz is very similar to Mantua in position but doesn’t attack as much. It’s like number five or eight. On Renan you can make a lot of money on the transfer, because he will definitely play in the national team.
About striker Pedro, for the future. He is also a very good player. After Andrik, who was bought by Real Madrid, he is Brazil’s most promising striker at the moment. He, too, can appear in Zenit, – said Aleisho on MATCH PREMIER.
Zenit previously announced the exchange of Yuri Alberto for defender Robert Renan and midfielder De Queiros. For Zenit, Alberto has scored six goals in 15 appearances and registered four assists.
