Rostov defender Melekhin spoke about his desire to play in Europe

Rostov central defender Viktor Melekhin told Metaratings.ru about his desire to try his hand at one of the European championships.

– Your agent Anton Zheleznyakov said that you had calls from Belgium, Turkey and Italy. Did you talk to him about this?

“To be honest, we didn’t talk about this topic. He said that there were no specific proposals, so I see no reason for me to delve into everything, so as not to bother my head again. He has more information, and I don’t really know anything. The agent tries to talk less about it so as not to distract him from football.

– Are you considering moving to another Russian club in the future?

– At the moment I’m a football player of “Rostov”. I made friends here and now I’m in this team, everything suits me here.

– Do you want to try your hand at Europe?

– Desire to eat. I think any young Russian player has such a desire.

– Don’t you think that the transfer of a promising Russian football player to the top RPL club is much more likely than to Europe?

“Everyone thinks differently. Someone wants to go to another club in Russia, someone wants to go to Europe. I can’t speak for everyone,” Melekhin said.

Melekhin has been playing for the main team of Rostov since 2021. The 19-year-old played 34 games last season and made 1 assist. Portal Transfermarkt estimates the market value of the defender at 3.5 million euros.
