Soslan Kasabiev, representing the interests of defender Nuraly Alip, told the details of his client’s signing a contract with Zenit under the 2.5 + 1 scheme.
In February 2022, Zenit took Alip on loan with an option to buy from Kairat. This season, Alip has played 8 matches and received 2 yellow cards. The lease agreement with Zenit expired on December 31. On Wednesday, Zenit announced the signing of a contract with a player for 2.5 years with the option of a one-year extension. As it became known to Match TV, the total cost of buying out the transfer of a 22-year-old player from Kairat did not exceed 1.75 million euros.
– Alip was rented with an obligatory right of redemption. What Kairat wanted, he got. I think that all parties were satisfied. Yes, and the football player himself wanted to stay in St. Petersburg, – quotes the words of Kasabiev “RB Sport”.
– Did Alip have offers from other RPL clubs?
– There were offers, but everything rested on the transfer fee. There was one RPL team that wanted Zenit to buy the transfer and they rented it. Naturally, free. But Zenit also needs such a player. It’s not just that they donated that kind of money.
– How long were the negotiations on the contract?
– They just started a long time ago – when the pause in the RPL began. The clubs were in contact with each other, but not everything was so simple. The current realities in Russia are that it is now difficult to drag a good foreign football player with a name even into a club like Zenit. I think that this situation played into the hands somewhere.
Why did you choose Zenith? After all, Alip does not have much game practice here yet.
Everyone understands that he is still a relatively young guy. Left-footed central defender. There is a shortage of such players in Russia. Alip believes in himself. Everyone believes in him. They’ll give you a chance. I think that he will be the main player when the championship of Russia resumes.
– Is it possible to go on loan in winter if Nuraly does not play anymore?
– Not in winter. Until the summer there will be a segment of 3.5 months. If Alip does not play enough, then we will talk with the club to go on loan and have game practice. The Russian Championship is more serious than the Kazakhstan Championship. Alip had an adaptation. I think everything will be fine. Everything depends on him.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.
