Leonid Goldmanagent of forward Lokomotiv Artyom Dziubaspoke about the options the Russian had abroad.
There were options in China. Literally on the day of the medical examination at Lokomotiv, a very generous offer came from there: with the lifting Artyom could earn up to 3 million dollars, the contract itself was provided for one and a half years. How true it has been written somewhere, the names of clubs from United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Of course, there was not as much money as Cristiano Ronaldo had, but still very generous offers. But we waited until the last minute for options in Russia because, as I said, this was a priority.
For Artyom to leave, many factors had to come together, because, I repeat, initially these options were not a priority. As well as money. Otherwise you could easily leave for the Emirates, where the family would be fine. But going there is the end. With all due respect, this is no longer the level where you can play at a high level, although there has been interest from top 5 teams in the local league. United Arab Emirates there was a plan “B” in case all negotiations with the Russian teams failed. But, thank God, it didn’t come to that.
