“Every day the news started to appear that one of the Brazilians from Zenit was leaving or preparing to leave, or that he was allowed to look for a team. Malcolm would go to Saudi Arabia. Claudinho wants Flamengo. Wendel was allowed to search for a new team.
I would divide this story into two parts. First of all, of course, they are great players, dear players who confirm their level, in particular by being called up to the Brazilian national team – I mean now Malcolm. They all had a great year, won the title in Russia.
But, secondly, we come back to the same thing again – foreigners in the RPL are mainly about money. Constantly said and written about the departure, in particular to extract money from the management of Zenit. Not all of these guys are people who will stay in St. Petersburg all their lives. Vaughn Fernandez spent almost his entire career in Russia, they gave him citizenship, but even then he was drawn to his homeland.
Lovchev: “Spartak” pays a billion rubles for Bongond, the player must comply
For “Zénith”, taking care of these three guys will be a loss. The team was built around them, they made the result. If all three leave, it will be a threat to the result,” Lovchev wrote on his Telegram channel.
