Glenn Bale says he’s not thinking about getting Russian citizenship

The Dutch defender of Krylia Sovetov Glenn Bale told RB Sport that he is not currently considering the possibility of obtaining Russian citizenship.

— You run your telegram channel in Russian. How hard is it?

— Blogging in Russian is quite difficult for me, but it is very interesting for me. Sometimes, of course, I use a translator on my phone or with the help of friends. Evgeny Frolov helps me a little, he has excellent English. But mostly I try to do everything myself, I like it.

– Many might think that you are actively learning Russian because you are going to get Russian citizenship.

No, it’s not related. Do I want to get a Russian passport? It’s too early to talk about it yet. As far as I know, for this I need to play in Russia for 5 years. Now I don’t think about obtaining Russian citizenship. No one offered me to make a passport, there was nothing like that.

Bale, 27, joined Wings of the Soviets in 2021. This season he has made 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists.
