Athletistic / Football. Former Zenit defender Yuri Zhirkov spoke in a conversation about the extremely successful debut of midfielder Maxim Glushenkov in the blue-white-blue camp. In addition, Zhirkov assessed the possible transfer value of the 25-year-old Russian.
“But Glushenkov doesn’t play in the national team? I don’t know then. You have to look at his price on Transfermarkt. If you compare Glushenkov with Mudrik, whom Chelsea bought for 100 million euros, then Glushenkov is now worth 200 million euros! (Laughs.)” – RB Sport quotes Zhirkov as saying.
Maxim Glushenkov moved from Lokomotiv to Zenit in June 2024 for 600 million rubles. In five official starting matches for the St. Petersburg club, he scored eight goals and one assist. The Transfermarkt portal estimates the midfielder’s market value at 11 million euros. His contract with Zenit runs until June 30, 2028.
