Former Russian national team player Dmitry Bulykin told that he does not view the departure of defenders Igor Smolnikov and Dmitry Zhivoglyadov, as well as striker Francois Camano, as a defeat for Lokomotiv.
Earlier on Friday, Lokomotiv announced that Kamano, Zhivoglyadov and Smolnikov had left the Moscow club after their contracts expired.
– There is a restructuring of the team for high goals, a new coach. It’s inevitable – the departure, the arrival of the players. I think these are not the last transfers to Lokomotiv. It’s not a loss for the team. They will take on new players to fight for trophies next season.
– Did you understand the meaning of Smolnikov’s winter transfer?
– For the depth of the composition, the competition. It just wasn’t helpful. Now, with minimal losses, the club is looking for new players.
– Kamano is also not a loss?
– He showed himself well, but I think there are other players who can show themselves in the same way. Maybe there is someone in mind, maybe he doesn’t want to play in Russia anymore. There are many nuances that we do not know, – said Bulykin “”.
Lokomotiv finished eighth in the Russian league in the 2022/23 season.
