“The deal to transfer Garre to Wings of the Soviets was difficult” – Kornilenko

The sports director of Krylia Sovetov, Sergey Kornilenko, said that the deal to transfer striker Benjamin Garre was difficult.

Garre moved to the “Wings of the Soviets” from the Argentine “Racing”, an agreement with a 22-year-old football player is designed for 3.5 years.

Is Garre a direct replacement for Pinyaev? After all, he is left-handed, not right-handed, like Sergei.

– Glushenkov and Pinyaev left us in this transfer window. We were looking for two players to replace the attacking group. We can say that today we managed to replace them with Garre and Pisarsky.

How difficult was the deal? How did you manage to persuade the player to move to Russia?

– Here it is worth noting the entire leadership of our club. There was a difficult deal, lengthy negotiations, many nuances – documentary issues, agency, personal, communication with the player, parents. There were professional negotiations from both sides. Thank God, everything ended positively. We expect Garre to help our team on the field.

– It was reported that the Wings would buy out 50% of the rights to the player. Is this true?

“The transfer contract between the clubs is confidential information,” Metaratings.ru quotes Kornilenko.
