Midfielder Ilzat Akhmetov must help St. Petersburg “Zenith” in the race for the RPL championship, the former general director of Spartak and Dynamo told Yuri Zavarzin .
On Tuesday, Akhmetov left Krasnodar for Zenit. The contract with the 26-year-old footballer runs until the end of the 2025/26 season and contains an option to extend for another year.
— Will Akhmetov’s departure weaken Krasnodar? Before implementing this transfer, the southerners should have found a worthy replacement for the footballer. Zenit acquired a fairly promising player in the person of Akhmetov. It’s clear that they have a lot of foreign players in their squad, and Akhmetov is Russian. This is a very important point. And this footballer is suitable for the championship race in which Zenit is participating, they are targeting him for that. There is no doubt about it,” Zavarzin told .
Akhmetov has been playing for Krasnodar since the summer of 2022, after playing for CSKA and Rubin Kazan. This season, the midfielder has played 21 matches, scored three goals and provided two assists.
After 18 rounds, Zenit is in second place in the Russian Championship standings, losing two points to the Bulls. The RPL season will resume in March.
