Shipachev on trade to Ak Bars: ‘No one from Dynamo headquarters spoke to me at all’

Kazan Striker “Ak Barsa” Vadim Shipachev in an interview with he spoke about the details of his exchange from Moscow “Dynamo” .

In May, Dynamo announced the exchange of Shipachev and defender Vyacheslav Voinov to Ak Bars for monetary compensation. “” previously announced that it will be a symbolic amount – one thousand rubles.

– How was your exchange from Dynamo Moscow to Ak Bars? We were talking about it last season.

– When it started and the rumors spread, I wasn’t too happy. I signed a three-year contract, and from the first season they start “sending” you to another team. Immediately there is a misunderstanding about what is going on.

It seems that everything was discussed, we all decided. After my three years at Dynamo, we signed a contract for three more seasons. Everything was agreed. And that’s how it started…

At first it was unpleasant. And when the season ended, everything was already decided on my account between the management of Dynamo and Ak Bars. I only had to add a few of my own shades. But no one from Dynamo headquarters spoke to me at all. Apparently the negotiations only went through an agent. So I don’t have much to say here.

Kazan made a proposal. Turns out they took us with Slava Voinov. However, I want to thank the Dynamo fans once again. They keep writing me nice words, and it’s very nice. Thus, four years at Dynamo have not been in vain.

So the exchange took place without your knowledge?

– I had a clause in my contract according to which I could not be traded without my agreement. But when Dynamo is getting younger and they basically don’t want to see you in the team, is there any point in staying there? Play where you are not needed? I don’t understand that,” Shipachev told .
