Agent Anzor Gargaev, representing the interests of the ex-midfielder of Zenit Magomed Ozdoev, considers the choice of a football player in favor of a Turkish, not a Saudi club, to be correct.

Ozdoev played for Zenit until July 2022, after which he moved to Fatih Karagyumryuk as a free agent.

– Any professional athlete who has even the slightest ambition has an attitude to achieve more. Ozdoev is no exception here. He plays, it turns out in a certain championship, in a certain team. Yes, other clubs are showing interest in him, but the nuance is that he has a contract for more than a year. Therefore, the question is how these interests will coincide with the interest of his current club.

Is Magomed ready to stay at Fatih? He is satisfied with this arrangement. With the arrival of Pirlo, a new team is being built. Not much time has passed since August – almost half a year in total, but the fruits of the joint work of the coaching staff and the players are already visible. For example, if next year, when this season ends, nothing changes in the team, perhaps this will only benefit. And the quality of the game, and the results.

So far, Magomed has priority on football development. A lot has happened in recent months: he changed the club, changed his position. He did the right thing by choosing Turkey and not going to Saudi Arabia. Even in this short period of time, he has grown as a football player,” Gargaev told Metaratings.ru.

Ozdoev, 30, has made 26 appearances this season, scoring 5 goals and making 4 assists.
