Noisy transfers require preparation.
Transfer campaign for clubs RPL it has already started – someone has actively started it to put together the training for the first retreat. But so far the top clubs are silent – they are probably looking for the best foreign players.
“Orenburg” uses well-established mechanisms
Why try something new if the old works well? Yuzhnouraltsy studied the Latin American market perfectly when he found Matias Perez, Lucas Vera, Cesar Florentin and Brian Mansilla. This summer, the club’s breeders once again turned to this market and managed to bring in another Argentine midfielder, Thomas Muro. The 21-year-old footballer has been playing at the highest level since 2022, in the season of the Argentine league that started, he played 9 matches and gave one assist.
Another newcomer was Turkish winger Emirjan Gorlyuk – before that, the 19-year-old forward played for Altinordu in the second division of his native league. The redemption of Mansilla (from Racing) and Oganesyan (from Spartak) also promises well. The former managed to become a full-fledged leader of Orenburg, the latter more often came on as a substitute, but even so he managed to score with effective actions – 2 goals and one assist.
By the way, such a business can also be a harbinger of big losses. Stories when the shooter has RPL the middle peasants are dismantled from all heads – which is not uncommon. And here the choice is rich: Marin (7 goals, 3 assists), Vera (2 goals + 7 assists), Mansilla (4+5), Florentin (2+4).
“Ural” brought in two players and parted with five
The Urals were equally active in the transfer market. Last year, a lack of quality improvement at the start of the season coupled with the league leaders’ form led to an 8-game winless streak in the league. This time the news began to appear almost immediately after the end of the season.
“Bumblebees” did not renew the contract with goalkeeper Oleg Baklov, who previously played for KAMAZ on loan, Ilya Bykovsky, Vyacheslav Podberezkin, Alexei Evseev and Yuri Bavin. Igor Konovalov returns to Rubin: they did not buy the midfielder after the lease.
In addition, there are 2 transfers at the entrance – reinforcements to the central axis (Timur Ayupov from Orenburg) and to the left flank of the defense (Kiki from Portuguese Vizela). The midfielder was taken from the South Urals rather for the depth of the bench. Ibrahima Cisse is in the squad, Fanil Sungatulin can play on base, Yuri Gazinsky, even if he suffers from injuries, makes the difference in optimal form, Daniel Mishkic shows an excellent result. Kiki is probably the base: there is Leo Goglichidze, but the Portuguese can beat the competition from him. By the way, you will also have to compete with Beveev.
The goalkeeper issue remains on the agenda: Ilya Pomazun’s next lease ends, CSKA he doesn’t want to sell it. The end of Akinfeev’s career is not far off. It’s worth trying to keep the goalkeeper for at least another year.
Krasnodar must look for a replacement for Spertsyan and Ramirez
But the main transfer market sagas still take place in the best clubs. Krasnodar could lose two of its leaders at once. Interest in Eduard Spertsyan is long-standing and stable – Real Madrid and AC Milan were also mentioned. Now Ajax has been added to the list of candidates: the Amsterdam team has made an official offer of 9 million euros. The bulls themselves are ready to accept 10 million and bonuses. Eduard respects the club, in May the midfielder said: his dream is to win a trophy for the southerners. Now everything can turn out: tomorrow he will play against Krasnodar CSKA in the Superfinal of the Cup of Russia. If you win, you can walk away.
It is also possible that Vladimir Ivic’s team will have to say goodbye to its main left-back Christian Ramirez. The Hungarian Ferencváros claims to be the Ecuadorian. Much speaks in favor of leaving: Christian himself said at the end of May that this season was his last for him in Krasnodar, he misses home. Also, in the past, the defender spent 3 seasons at Ferencváros, his wife is Hungarian model Aniko Vago. Preliminary negotiations with the representatives of Ferencváros have already taken place, Ramirez is ready to return.
Such losses are nearly impossible to neutralize immediately, even though the bulls have had an excellent winter transfer window and Nikita Kryvtsov is gradually revealing himself among the available assets.
“Spartak” found another Balde, but wants the opornik “Rostov”
Muscovites have a lot to think about before entering the new season. The team had an excellent first half of last season, but failed in the second half. Maybe Abascal wasn’t ready for a long winter training camp and didn’t have time to correct his mistakes afterwards. Maybe the players relaxed early and started paying more attention to football life. But these are all coaching issues and ranchers have to sort out staffing issues.
Kofrie returns – he definitely needs to be sold. At the same time, the club wanted to find a new team for Moses, Nicholson, Rybus and, in question, Balda and Martins.
There were rumors of the red and whites’ interest in Rostov defensive midfielder Danil Glebov: they had previously tried to sign the midfielder, but he remained with the Rostov team. This time it was even reported that Muscovites were ready to pay southerners 6-7 million euros. Apparently, the point in the negotiations has already been put: Danil extended the contract with Rostov until 2028. The search for the defender continues.
Mama Balde has become a candidate to strengthen the line of attack. The Guinean striker plays for Troyes in French Ligue 1 and scored 12 goals in 34 league games last season. The option itself is excellent: Sobolev needs competition for greater discipline, and Shamar fails by a margin. Keita Balde, on the other hand, plays in bursts: 3 goals in 12 games RPL – not the best indicator. The Guinean himself is not averse to considering the option of moving to Russia, but Spartak have not yet made an official offer.
