Athletistic / Football. The Zenit midfielder has shared his thoughts on his compatriot Alexei Miranchuk’s move to the United States. The 28-year-old midfielder left Italian side Atalanta to join American side Atlanta United on July 30.
“This is a definitive step in his career, which can affect Alexey’s development. In my opinion, Miranchuk will have more chances to prove himself in MLS. I can only wish him good luck.
“Did he make the right choice or not? First of all, it is Alexey’s own decision. If he decided so, he weighed the pros and cons, and for him it is a step forward,” Erokhin said according to Sport-Express.
Alexey Miranchuk has signed a contract with Atlanta until December 31, 2027, with the possibility of extending for another season. According to Italian media, the transfer fee was €15 million, but Transfermarkt claims that the Russian cost the MLS club €12 million.
