In August, Russian football was blown up by loud news: the young Dynamo midfielder Arsen Zakharyan is close to moving to London Chelsea. The player has long been predicted a great future and a quick move to Europe. But in order to immediately go to Chelsea… It seemed that the Russian was incredibly lucky.

However, sadly, the transition did not take place. At least Zakharyan will not go to England this summer. The player’s transfer failed at the last moment.

And Chelsea seems to have found a more reliable option.

Exchange between Chelsea and Barcelona

Barcelona’s Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang lost his main striker spot following the signing of Robert Lewandowski and needed a new challenge. The same was required and defender Marcos Alonso, who is about to return to his native Spain. Barcelona is a great option for the 31-year-old, even though he was brought up at Real Madrid. Aubameyang, in turn, is well acquainted with England: he spent four years in another metropolitan club – Arsenal.

Chelsea relied on experience and reliability. Of course, in these components, it is still unrealistic for Zakharyan to compete with the Gabonese. But, apparently, the road to the Russians in England is not closed. There is still hope that Arsene will join one of the best teams in the world.

Zakharyan will leave for England in winter?

Dynamo issued a statement – Arsen will not leave this summer.

– For several days, there were substantive negotiations between Dynamo and Chelsea, in which our club took a constructive position. However, due to a number of technical reasons beyond our control, it is not possible to transfer the player to this summer transfer window. Nevertheless, our club remains open to proposals that will suit Dynamo and the player. At the moment, the parties have decided that Arsene will continue to play for Dynamo,” the club said.

Earlier this fact was confirmed by the agent of the player Rafael Pimenta. He stated that the transition is now impossible to issue.

For fans and experts, the disruption of the deal is even good. You can continue to enjoy the beautiful game of Zakharyan in Dynamo. But will this game be beautiful? Will failure hit the footballer?

Here we recall the situation with Fedor Chalov, whom CSKA at one time did not let go to Crystal Palace for a crazy 25 million pounds. Forward “army” then two years could not play normally!

It can be argued that the athlete tunes in to each performance without any problems and does not pay attention to the fuss around. But it’s not. Any athlete hears, understands, experiences and experiences all the same emotions as any other person. It’s good if this situation doesn’t hit Zakharyan’s motivation. After all, the guy is only 19 years old.

Now there is one mission for Dynamo and Arsen’s entourage – to prevent the player from slowing down and heading in the clouds. After all, if Chelsea return in the winter, they need to see Zakharyan at least at the same level.
