Alexander’s desire to receive the full amount under the contract prevents him from playing football again.
The saga with the position of Alexander Kokorin at Fiorentina dragged on. The case when everyone understands everything, but it is not possible to resolve the dispute. The Russian runs the risk of never playing in the new season, but is not going to leave the club without compensation. The Italians, in turn, are not ready to meet the financial requirements of the football player, so they cannot terminate the contract with him. Vicious circle.
The only option left for the “violets” is to continue to pay wages and marinate Kokorin outside the application. Then look at Alexander’s reaction and try to solve something in the winter. On the other hand, does Sasha really not want to play more? The transfer window is not closed yet, you can find a new team and return to football normally.
Is Kokorin finally obsessed with money?
Kokorin demands huge money for terminating the contract
At the moment, the club does not make any official statements on Kokorin. Journalists are told only that Fiorentina wants to find some solution to this issue. According to RB Sport, this is all due to the fact that Alexander constantly asks for 3.6 million euros, which are due under the contract. The Russian does not agree to a smaller amount. Fiorentina does not want to pay so much, the club hopes that Kokorin will leave the team as a free agent. The striker’s contract expires on June 30, 2024, so he can sit still and milk the Italians for a long time, to the last drop.
The new season will be the third for Kokorin in Serie A. For all the time in the team, he never scored or gave an assist, and the number of minutes spent in official matches is terrifying. Alexander’s transfer fee has fallen from 3.5 million euros to 800 thousand. In general, complete degradation. The feeling that Kokorin is deliberately ruining his career.
Why is Kokorin himself silent all the time?
Recently, Spartak striker Alexander Sobolev, answering a question about whether they communicate with a former partner, quoted Kokorin, saying that the Russian media write about him more fiction than truth. If so, then why shouldn’t Kokorin himself take the microphone and refute the numerous rumors? Maybe it’s not the unwillingness to play football, but the state of health. For example, Alexandra’s masseur Sergey Kolesnikov said the following on August 10:
– He is in good shape, the only thing is that he was ill. He had 25 difficult covid days. He called and said that it was painful to breathe. Now he’s back in shape and training. We talked about how his legs, Achilles, what points need to be used so that everything is in order, ”Kolesnikov said on Match TV.
Around the same time, Sochi midfielder Christian Noboa said that Kokorin wanted to return to Russia and would be a good reinforcement for the southerners. One can agree with this, Alexander will at least get into the application, and then you see, he will compete with Georgy Melkadze. But why Sasha demands the full amount and does not want to make concessions to Fiorentina is a mystery. Worse than the Bermuda Triangle or Atlantis.

– Until what age did you believe in Santa Claus?
– I don’t even remember. Probably up to age six. No more. Until I went to school.
– What is the most unusual New Year celebration in your life?
– The most unusual and extraordinary was the New Year, which I spent in Israel during my stay as a player in the USSR youth team. An international tournament was organized in this country, in which our team participated. It’s plus twenty outside and we’re celebrating the new year in shorts and T-shirts.
The next day we had to play against the Swedish national team in the final. The Swedes sat next to our table on New Year’s Eve, they saw how we relaxed, and how we relaxed. Believe me, we rested much better and played much better (smiles). As it turned out, the Swedes were very weak at the festive table. We won the final match 2-0.
– As a Ukrainian citizen and a football coach, what do you expect from the new year 2026?
– To be honest, everyone is waiting for one thing; peace. And I’m not the only one who can say that. If there is peace, everything will return to normal. I really want the war to end as soon as possible, for people to be free, for parents not to bury their children. This is the most important thing. And as a coach, I expect changes for the better in our football.
I would like the Ukrainian championship to be full-fledged and finally achieve some kind of stability. And also for the Ukrainian national team to successfully pass the World Cup play-off tests and please the fans as often as possible. I also really want the football players in our club to have a good future, to become real football masters, to gain recognition and to be invited to various national teams.
