Khabib called PSG after a super goal in the RPL. Is Russian talent now being followed in Paris?

The famous former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has never hidden his love for football. The Dagestan athlete still regularly spends time on the field, travels to matches throughout Europe and is friends with famous players, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But it turns out that Khabib recently tried himself as an agent. Orel offered the PSG president to buy a Russian midfielder from Dynamo!

Will the player of our national team be in the company of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar?

Khabib impressed with super goal

In 2021, midfielder Denis Makarov, who then played for Rubin Kazan, scored the winning goal in the last minutes against Zenit. The midfielder wound up two defenders of the St. Petersburg team several times, and then struck an accurate blow into the far corner of the goal. Subsequently, this particular goal was recognized as the best in the RPL season.

As it turned out, Khabib Nurmagomedov was watching the match then. And the stunning goal of Makarov made such an impression on the former fighter that he even decided to use his connections in order to draw the attention of the giants of world football to the talent of the Russian player.

– Khabib liked Makarov’s game so much that after Denis’s goal, he called the PSG president and said: “Look at this young Di Maria.” Khabib is worried about our guys, he loves football very much. And I introduced them to Makarov a couple of months after that story, ”said Magomed Magomedov, CEO of Eagles Sports Management, in an interview with Match TV.

Judging by the fact that six months after the stunning goal against Zenit, Makarov went not to PSG, but to Dynamo Moscow, the president of the Parisian club was not impressed with the Russian’s game as warmly as Khabib. Perhaps one sight of a nightmarish lawn in Kazan blinded the head of the French club. And now we will not see Denis in the company of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar …

Nevertheless, it is pleasantly surprising that the Russian ex-UFC champion is so happy for Russian players, trying to arrange them with the help of his “big” connections. And the fact that, in addition to PSG, Khabib is a fan of Real Madrid, also having acquaintances at the club, should give our players some thoughts. Maybe with Nurmagomedov no agents are needed?
