Athletistic / Football. Sergei Puchkov, the first coach of midfielder Maxim Glushenkov, spoke about the transfer of his student from Lokomotiv to Zenit. The 24-year-old Russian will start the 2024/2025 season in the camp of the current Russian champion.

“I think Glushenkov’s transfer to Zenit is a step forward. Maxim is showing himself well, so it’s worth it. He showed everything last season with Lokomotiv, which suggests that now he needs to grow more.

Another thing is how the competition with Zenit’s foreign players will go. Glushenkov contested, but he is already mature, he will soon be 25 years old. I know him and we met this year, he is in a fighting mood. His health allows him to do so, especially since he underwent a medical examination before the transfer,” Pouchkov said, quoted by the Championship.

For the transfer of Maxim Glushenkov, Zenit paid 6.3 million euros to Lokomotiv. The midfielder’s contract with the St. Petersburg club runs until June 30, 2028 and includes an extension for another season. The Transfermarkt portal estimates Glushenkov’s market value at 11 million euros.
