A very strong player can enter the Russian football market.
Russia’s football prospects in the European direction are becoming more and more doubtful every month. It is not surprising that our officials are increasingly turning to Asia, hoping to find allies there. Now, it seems that this interest has finally become mutual.
Recently it became known that in the East they are seriously considering the option of buying a popular Moscow club. The Chinese bank has already made inquiries, so a very serious player may appear on the Russian market soon!
If the rumors turn out to be true, the employees of the capital team will finally be able to exhale. After all, Muscovites urgently need to be saved!
The main sufferer of the season can find a new life
On the air of the Match TV channel, the well-known lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky said that one of the Chinese banks is considering the possibility of buying a serious football club from Moscow. The lawyer did not have reliable information about which capital club was of interest to Chinese investors, so he suggested that it could be Spartak. However, a little later, the information was supplemented by the Locker Room telegram channel.
– Somehow, no one took seriously the information from the air “There is a theme” about the interest of one of the Chinese banks in the Russian football club from Moscow, but in vain. According to our information, the Chinese bank did check this possibility. But the conversation was not about Spartak, but about Torpedo.
At the moment, car manufacturers look worse than all RPL teams. In six rounds of the new season, Muscovites scored only one point and occupy the last, 16th, place in the table.
Moreover, Torpedo recently lost its head coach Alexander Borodyuk and President Denis Maslov. The place of the head of the club was taken by Ilya Gerkus, and Nikolai Savichev came to the post of coach. And it seems that these rearrangements happened just in time, because soon the Moscow club can start a new life!
“God forbid to buy”
There are already the first reactions to the news about the potential arrival of the Chinese. For example, the former Torpedo player Vadim Nikonov is only happy about this turn of fate.
– God forbid, to buy. I am wholeheartedly in favor of someone – albeit the Chinese – buying a team that has fallen into obscurity and needs financial assistance. Fans of Torpedo and those who played there are praying for this proposal. Working club. I just applaud the Chinese. Whatever they are, but there will be some kind of breakthrough and shift, – Nikonov is quoted by the “Championship”.
The son of the famous Soviet football player Eduard Streltsov, Igor, believes that the existence of the club as a whole is in the first place.
– If there are good investments, then the game will change and the composition will improve. They want to play, they want to win, but they need a little skill and experience – not just a desire. The most important thing for me is that the team is in the big leagues, and even if the Chinese, even if the Martians, buy the club, I don’t care, ”Championship” quotes Streltsov.
It is hard not to agree with Streltsov and Nikonov. Torpedo is a club with a big name. The departure of the team from the RPL and its protracted crisis upset not only its fans, but also fans of Russian football in general. If now there is a question about the further existence of the club, then, of course, it does not matter from which country a potential investor will come to Moscow – any help will be valuable.
