Bokov does not believe that Malcolm’s departure will give Spartak additional chances in the title race

Zenit has enough reserves to replace midfielder Malcolm, according to ex-player of the club and the Russian national team Maxim Bokov.

Earlier, the head coach of “Zenith” Sergey Semak confirmed the information about the interest of “PSG” to the midfielder “blue-white-blue” Malcolm.

– If the club works for the benefit of the player, and the player works for the benefit of the club, then why not let him go? They will find a common language, and will go to play for another team.

Zenit has enough reserves to replace him. I do not think that this will give Spartak additional chances in the championship race. Zenit is doing well anyway,” Bokov told Metaratings.ru.
