Akron CEO Alexei Vlasov told how Rubin intercepted striker Kamil Mullin from the club.

– Is it true that Kamil Mullin has already undergone a medical examination for Akron, but Rubin offered twice as much? With Rubin, no one in Melbet First League can compete on a budget?

– Indeed, the player was one leg with us, but we received a better offer from Rubin. I don’t think it’s twice as high. I don’t know Rubin’s payroll, so I don’t want to get into a debate, although it’s probably better than ours and many other clubs.

– How many teams in the league significantly outperform Akron on a budget?

– If we talk specifically about the cost of the team, then I would place us somewhere in the middle, in 6-8th place. But I don’t know for sure the numbers of other clubs. Last summer more players came to us, the payroll increased significantly then. This summer they behaved much more modestly.

– What did the club lose on the transitions of Maksimchuk and Korolkov, with whom the contracts were terminated almost immediately due to violation of the regime?

– Absolutely all summer newcomers came to us either as free agents or on loan. We did not pay any money for a single player. The only exception is the first professional contracts, including with students of the Konoplev Academy, when there is compensation for school preparation. The lease agreement with Spartak for Maksimchuk was terminated. Korolkov came as a free agent, it was not a transfer from Rodina. There are no losses as such,” Vlasov told Metaratings.ru.

This season, the 28-year-old football player has played six matches for the Kazan team and has not scored.
