Kafanov said Rostov wants to acquire goalkeeper Moskvichev

Rostov goalkeeper coach Vitali Kafanov in an interview with said that the transfer of the goalkeeper Bogdana Moskvicheva joined the Rostov club because Zenit did not want to part with the player.

Moskvichev, 20, graduated from Zenit; since February 2024 he has played on loan for Chaika, and in June he was loaned to Orenburg. This season he has played six matches and conceded 11 goals.

His data is the same as Zhenya’s: thinking about the game, analysis, psychology. There is everything to become one of the best goalkeepers in Russia.

Russian goalkeepers demonstrate a high level. Look at how often goalkeepers are voted the best players.
