Athletistic/Football. Former captain of the Russian national team Andrei Arshavin believes that his compatriot, Atalanta midfielder Alexei Miranchuk should change his registration at the club as soon as possible.

“Atalanta doesn’t need Miranchuk. It’s been clear for a long time. I don’t understand why the Italians kept him this summer. I find it strange why Turin didn’t buy him. Alexey looked in his place on this team.

The fact that the Atalanta head coach doesn’t see him in the starting lineup, even considering he plays for 20-30 minutes, is completely normal. But one way or another, Miranchuk and his entourage will look for a way out of this situation this winter. Alexey needs to change teams now,” Arshavin said, as quoted by Match TV.

The day before, on November 30, Atalanta drew against Sporting Lisbon (1:1) in the home match of the 5th round of the Europa League group stage. Miranchuk appeared on the field in the 69th minute and failed to make an impact. The 28-year-old Russian has made seven appearances for Bergamasco across all tournaments this season.
