Shamil Lakhiyalov, president of Legion Football Club, spoke about the contract that was offered to the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
– In the summer of 2021, you posted a post on social networks with a contract for Nurmagomedov. Who had the idea to offer him a contract?
– Volume. He posted a video where he plays football. He loves this sport, maybe he will try it on a professional level. I asked to quickly write a contract, then I published it on social networks.
Why hasn’t the contract been signed yet?
Khabib doesn’t have time. Maybe not ready yet.
“It looks like a marketing ploy.
— No, we actually discussed this matter. If he had categorically refused, we would not have discussed it. Our head coach is in contact with him, I remind him every time. Khabib could solve many of our problems. I think 5-10,000 people would have come to the stadium to see Khabib’s debut in professional football.
What have you already learned from this story?
– They called, wrote, but I did not expect it. Our goal was to put a club T-shirt on Khabib,” Sport24 Lakhiyalov quotes.
