Alexander Chernykh, representing the interests of the attacker Alexandra Khokhlacheva said his client did not lose much money after moving from Amur to Sochi.
On Friday, the 31-year-old hockey player terminated his contract with Khabarovsk Amur by agreement of the parties. On Monday, Sochi announced the transfer of Khokhlachev. According to , the player’s contract amount was reduced from 75 million rubles per season to 20 million rubles until the end of the season.
— First, we received partial compensation from Amur for the termination of the contract. I won’t name the numbers themselves. But if there has been a reduction in salaries, it is insignificant.
Secondly, at the moment we understand that the player and the club do not see [перспективу] further cooperation in Khabarovsk. Of course, you can just sit back and collect your paycheck. But Alexander wants to continue his career. He understands that he must show his game. And to do this, decide where to play next.
And look, in Khabarovsk not all leaders play well. Not only was Khokhlachev left without glasses. Not a single person there looks good. So we didn’t wait. We spoke with several clubs and made a choice.
— Were there other teams?
– Certainly. I wouldn’t want to name them, but there are several nuances. For example, a roster spot, for example, an established top 6 forward who plays and produces results. And somewhere on finances they disagreed. For example, a club from the Moscow region signed a contract, but not at all on conditions corresponding to the level of Khokhlachev. And with “Sochi” the whole puzzle came together when finances were normal and head coach Sergei Zubov was interested in the player,” Chernykh told .
This season, Khokhlachev scored 3 (1+2) points in 21 regular season matches.
