Athletistic/Football. Former CSKA striker Valery Masalitin has spoken about the rumors regarding the possible transfer of midfielder Jesús Medina to Spartak.
On Friday, the Sport-Express newspaper reported that the clubs had reached an agreement on the transfer of the Paraguayan footballer for 7.5 million euros.
“As far as I know, Medina himself turned to the management and asked for a transfer. It is not a fact that he will be able to compete at Spartak and get a place in the first team. He comes to receive a better offer and decided to leave. The whole story boils down to this. No need to puff up and wonder how one can move from CSKA to Spartak. Medina is nobody for the club and nothing to call it He is not an academy graduate or a legionnaire who has devoted many years to the team. There have already been many such transitions, for example, Danny from “Dynamo” to “Zenith “. It’s all about money, for legionnaires the concept of “club” does not matter much. Why then pay him such money? Especially considering that Ivan Oblyakov plays well in his position. It is enough to thank Medina and forget “- said Masalitin, reports RIA Novosti.
Medina joined CSKA Moscow early last year from New York on a free transfer. Last season, he played 33 matches with the Rouge et Bleu, scoring 11 goals and providing 8 assists.
