General manager “Ufa » Shamil Gazizov told that the club had offered former Russian national team striker Roman Pavlyuchenko to join the team.
Earlier, journalist Ivan Karpov announced Ufa’s offer to sign a contract with Pavlyuchenko for a match in the FONBET Cup of Russia with Akhmat. For the past four years, Pavlyuchenko has played for Noginsk Znamya. In October, the FTC RFU suspended the player for eight Second League matches for attempting to physically influence an opponent and using offensive language during a match with Cosmos. After that, Pavlyuchenko announced his retirement from the team and retirement.
“I have always watched Roman with great interest, his football career,” Gazizov told . And as a person, he impresses me. Ufa made their offer, and then the decision is not just ours. We are in the same hotel, I saw him, he is in good physical shape.
— Is there a delay in the negotiations?
– There is no time limit. Everything can be solved both very quickly and drag on. Like everything else in the world of football.
– One of his main motivations is to score the 200th goal?
I think that would be a crazy story. It would be great if that happened. The understatement probably exists, this single-purpose theme itchs him as a great athlete. I have many friends in Bashkiria who would like to see a status striker in Ufa. So much so that they are ready to give away a Bashkir-bred horse. I think someone will give an apiary with honey if Roma ends up with us.
Pavlyuchenko played for Dynamo Stavropol, Rotor Volgograd, Ural Yekaterinburg, Spartak Moscow, Lokomotiv and Ararat, Krasnodar Kuban and Noginsk Znamya. From 2008 to 2012, the striker played for Tottenham Hotspur. Pavlyuchenko is a bronze medalist of the 2008 European Championship in the Russian national team, two-time winner of the Russian Cup. The footballer twice became the top scorer in the national championships.
