Striker Grozny”Ahmata » Mohamed Konate does not plan to receive a Russian passport, but if he wants, he can do it, because he fulfills all the necessary conditions, while the footballer does not understand why the media writes about him like that, the agent of a citizen of Burkina Faso says Dmitry Selyuk .
This season, Konaté has made 20 appearances for Akhmat, in which he has scored nine goals and one assist. Earlier in Russia, the 25-year-old striker played for Ural (2016), Tambov (2019), Khimki (2019-2021). The footballer has been playing for Akhmat since 2021.
“I never said that Konaté was going to get a passport. Some negligent journalists write what they think. I just said once that if Malcolm and Claudinho got passports, other players express their desire to get citizenship, then Konaté, from a legal point of view, can get a passport. He has lived in Russia for a long time, his wife is Russian, the child was born here. And so, from a legal point of view, there is no problem in obtaining citizenship. Another thing is that he played for Burkina Faso, and he won’t be able to play for the Russian national team.
Konaté himself constantly asks why they write about him like that. He feels good in Russia with his passport. Theoretically, if he wants to get a passport, he calmly fulfills all the criteria, Selyuk told .
