Let’s talk about the most interesting transfers.

Artyom Dziuba (Lokomotiv, free agent)

They waited in torpedo, but ended up at the nearby Lokomotiv. An unexpected turn, but Galaktionov needed an experienced striker. Judging by the match against Spartak, when Artyom was recognized as the best player of the match for his aggressive fight with defenders, such an “uncle” will come in handy for Lokomotiv. You have to fight for survival and this is a description of your pet’s career. They always questioned Artyom’s abilities, whenever he tried to prove he deserved attention.

Robert Renan (Zenith, free agent)

Semak has a boyfriend who wants to play for Real Madrid and similar sized clubs. There will be interest, because the South American champion among youngsters is young: Renan is only 19 years old, he is already working in a mature way. If Zenit’s defense does not crumble after the defeat in Lovren, and the young Brazilian makes his debut with strong games, then they will come for him in the summer. Zenit have taken a free agent and could receive tens of millions of euros for the transfer.

Alexis Duarte (Spartak Moscow, 4 million euros)

Jikia’s future partner, a young Paraguayan, is the most expensive newcomer of the winter. As you can see, the clubs don’t have much money, four million euros is the ceiling. Abramovich and company at the clubs RPL money is not invested, Spartak has lost its former owners. The general sponsor did not leave the club, but reassured Abascal on the eve of signing a new contract with targeted transfers, and not with the purchase of champion base players. Duarte will be tested in battle.

Sergei Pinyaev (Lokomotiv, €2.6m)

Everyone knew Pinyaev, even in Manchester. I want the young man to develop. I picked a tough team for this. They would rather run away from Lokomotiv than get into a burning train car. Sergey is trying to turn the new offensive team into an “armored car”. With the help of Miranchuk, Zhemaletdinov, Dzyuba and Glushenkov, it can work. Galaktionov will definitely give Pinyaev a chance. It is important not to go to the bench, because Kamano remained, there are enough competitors.

Kadi (Krasnodar, €2m)

Let’s hope that the frost in Moscow scared the former Qarabag player, and in the future Kadi will play better than against CSKA. The cold shower of other people’s attacks survived. Ivic has to think how can he get a pressing midfield if Spertsyan and Kadi are attacking midfielders? The defeat of the “soldiers” was a hard acquaintance of the Brazilian RPL, but then it will be easier for him. Against the middle peasants, Borges will have the chance to prove why he often celebrated goals in Azerbaijan.

Vladimir Pisarsky (Wings of the Soviets, €1.35m)

If Pisarsky does not repeat Agalarov’s mistakes, then after a productive season with Orenburg and Krylya Sovetov he will remain one of the most dangerous strikers RPL. Maybe even get promoted. Against Dynamo, he first saw his new team defend, but then scored another goal for Shunin. Vladimir is in good shape and since coach Osinkin is no weaker than Lichka, Promes and Malcolm can lose the Golden Boot in RPL sensations of the season.

Tomas Tavares (Spartak, 2 million euros)

Once considered incredibly promising. Then one of the many Tavares from the Benfica school was expected in a nice club. But first he proved redundant at Benfica, then he survived an injury at Basel. But Abascal recalled how Tomas plays. When it turned out to sign him for two million euros, Spartak did not refuse. We expect good football from the Portuguese with the ball on the wings: he can play left and right, but it’s not always a reliable job in defence.

Milan Maistorović (Dinamo, €1.2m)

Dynamo have a winter rookie, but the Serbian is only nineteen. This is not the signing of a player based on the post of Sazonov or Fernandez. Rather bet on the future. Jokanovic may know Vajic, who represents Milan’s interests, so the 19-year-old turned down invitations from Italy and Germany and chose Dynamo. Let’s see what happens on defense with four incredibly young players.

Ilya Lantratov (Lokomotiv, 200 thousand euros)

In addition to forwards, Galaktionov was looking for a goalkeeper. Lantratov did the right thing by leaving Khimki: it makes no sense for him to sink. And so the interrupted transfer to Zenit led to the decline of Ilya’s game. In Lokomotiv the danger is that there are two great opponents, but so far Guilherme and Khudyakov have given way to the newcomer in the derby against Spartak. It was not possible to catch up, but Lantratov missed only once – the second leg with intrigue.

Benjamin Garre (Wings of the Soviets, €1.7m)

He showed himself on the break against Dynamo, but it is clear that the Argentine will be evaluated from a distance. He is only twenty-two years old, he comes from the Manchester City school, he also played for the country’s youth team. But predictably, he didn’t get to the “citizens” base, he went to Racing, and then the cost dropped and therefore Krylya Sovetov was able to afford the transfer. We suspect Garre has skeletons in his closet. But there is also a school.

Ilya AgapovCSKA1.3 million euros)

Be healthy, I could destroy Krasnodar along with everyone else, while Diveev and Zainutdinov were in the infirmary. But did Ilya do the right thing, that after an unsuccessful attempt to get into the Spartak base through the second team and a decent segment in Pari NN, he chose another metropolitan club, where he is not guaranteed training? It’s harder for centre-backs to distinguish themselves if they sit in reserve – a substitution cannot be the same as a striker. And sideways CSKA this is a normal transfer, because they play in three central centers, they need a reserve.

Maxim Glushenkov (Lokomotiv, €2.6m)

Glushakov, consonant with the surname, also changed clubs, but Glushenkov’s transfer is more important for RPL in 2023. The striker, who did not find a place in Spartak, will play for Lokomotiv. The competition, like that of Pinyaev, is great. Galaktionov did not see Maxim as the main central striker – they signed Dziuba, but if Kamano plays like in a derby, then Glushenkov will have time to play. And then it all depends, by the way, on another winter newcomer – coach Galaktionov. Lokomotiv needs victories RPL.
