Russian football expert Andrey Sozin believes that striker Malcolm’s departure from Zenit will be a loss for Petersburgers, but football is business.
Earlier, the media reported that the Saudi Al-Hilal had agreed on the transfer of Malcolm. The Brazilian, who also has Russian citizenship, was offered a contract until 2026 with a salary of 18 million euros a year.
– Definitely “Zenith” will be harder without him. The man scored 23 goals and gave under 10 assists. Of course, this is the leader of the team, this will certainly weaken Zenit. I don’t know if this will make it easier for CSKA or Spartak, but the fact that Semak’s team will become harder is for sure.
We need to find a person who will score 23. Any person who can replace him, for example, will score 13 or 15, but this is not 23. And these are extra points. Therefore, it is necessary to sell Malcolm, because football is a business. If there was a Champions League, then it would be possible to keep it, but now with good demand, I think it makes no sense, – Sozin told Vprognoze.ru.
The 26-year-old striker’s contract with Zenit runs until the summer of 2027.
Last season, Malcolm became the top scorer of the WORLD RPL, scoring 23 goals in 27 games.

Thomas Astudillo is a sports journalist and author who writes for Sportish. He has a deep love and knowledge of sports, and is known for his engaging and informative writing on the latest sports news and events.
Former coach of the Ukrainian national team Jozsef Szabo Meta.ua has exclusively chosen the version of the three best Ukrainian football players of this season for its website.
“In the first row, Ilya Zabarny is almost out of the competition,” Sabo said. – As far as I remember, there has been no regression in the game yet. Yes, the defender had unimpressive tackles, but these were isolated cases. But he’s only 23 years old. The contract with Paris Saint-Germain shows that this football player is currently one of the best in Europe. And do not forget that at that age he played 55 matches for the Ukrainian national team.
I will give second place to Ruslan Malinovsky, who seems to have found a second youth after being injured. This guy’s head is clear, making great passes is not difficult for a midfielder. Largely thanks to Malinovsky’s effective play, the Ukrainian national team managed to qualify for the play-offs in the 2026 World Cup qualifying tournament.
The third will be Everton’s left back Vitaly Mikolenko. He is a consistent starter for his team. And no matter what position the team is in, the English league is still the strongest league in Europe. He is an irreplaceable football player in the national team.

Forward from Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba he wants to play as a goalkeeper for the rest of his career.
“I would be interested in trying to play in goal at least once. I would like to do it in the match,” Dzyuba said.
Dzyuba is the best scorer in the history of Russian football.

Leonid Slutsky last year he performed well as coach of the Shanghai Shenhua football team. This opinion was expressed by the striker of Togliatti “Akron” Artem Dzyuba.
Last season, Slutsky took second place in the Chinese league with Shanghai Shenhua and led the club to the Asian Champions League playoffs for the first time. The team also won the Chinese Super Cup.
“He’s doing well in China, the only thing he was missing was a championship, everything was leading to that,” Dziuba said. “But it’s tough for a team that’s been in fifth place all their life, they don’t have that winning mentality.”
Slutsky is 54 years old and has been at the helm of the Chinese club since December 2023. In his career he has coached Rubin Kazan, Uralan Elista, Mosca, Krylya Sovetov Samara, CSKAEnglish “Hull” and Dutch “Vitesse”. Together with CSKA the specialist became champion of Russia three times, won the Russian Cup and the Super Cup twice.
