Malafeev spent his entire playing career at Zenit, which he ended in 2016. In November 2017, he was appointed as Zenit’s deputy sporting director for general affairs. In May 2020, he left the club.
In the winter transfer window, Pinyaev, a graduate of the Chertanovo school, moved from Krylia Sovetov to Lokomotiv.
– We had negotiations on Pinyaev. Specific amounts have been announced. Blame me that he didn’t come with us either.
– Could this happen?
Theoretically, yes, but in fact, it was an impossible agreement. That is, “Zenith” simply would not have kept it.
– For what?
– He was underage – how can you keep him in case something goes wrong? It is not possible to conclude a long-term contract with him. Therefore, any amount that would have been paid by Zenit at that time, in fact, would have disappeared, could simply “run out” in two years. At the same time, the guy would just take his first steps into big football. And the amount is huge.
– For a minor?
– Yes. In other words, the agreement would be inadequate. There are many such stories, Malafeev told .
