Former Zenit sporting director Igor Korneev told Metaratings.ru that financially the transfer of St. Petersburg striker Malcolm to Al-Hilal would be a good deal, but the question is whether the player himself wants it.
Earlier, media reported that Saudi Al-Hilal agreed to Malcolm’s transfer. The Brazilian, who also has Russian nationality, was offered a contract until 2026 with a salary of 18 million euros per year.
– As a former sports director of the club, how do you judge the work of the Zenith sports block? Is it the best quality in the country or is it just resources?
“Zenith works quite efficiently and quickly, adapting to the circumstances that arise. Of course, the resource also plays an important role here.
– What should Zenit do against Wendel? Trying to exchange players from Brazil, as in the case of Yuri Alberto? Perhaps there is interest in Wendel from Europe?
– Finding an option to buy Wendel for 20-25 million euros is not so easy, considering the player’s big salary. England could be that option, but it doesn’t look like they’re going quite under the new rules. Let’s see if someone in Europe decides to transfer it. Swapping him for another top player from Brazil could be a good and quick option.
– In Saudi Arabia they write that Malcolm is about to move to Al-Hilal, the figure was 50 million euros. Would it be a great deal for Zenit?
– If so, it would be a good deal for Zenit and the player financially. But if Malcolm wants to go, that’s a big question.
