The career of Alexey Miranchuk in Europe can not yet be called super successful. During his two seasons with Atalanta, the midfielder did not become a main player.

A total of 56 games in two unfinished years, Alexei spent an average of just over half an hour on the field each – obviously not a number you can count on when you move to another club.

But Miranchuk is trying to use the time allotted to him to the fullest – in his presence he has 9 goals, 7 assists and the sympathy of the fans.

But his playing time has already given rise to rumors that the footballer may find himself a new job. For example, a year ago Milan was actively interested in Miranchuk, but the deal did not come true in the end.

And now, added the political situation where Russian players in Europe are under close scrutiny. However, according to the assurance of the football player’s manager Vadim Shpinev, Miranchuk does not have such a problem in the team.

“Yesterday, many people saw football. Miranchuk came out and played with dignity. The whole team congratulated him, the fans applauded. The Sampdoria coach stood up and applauded after the goal. Professional and player qualifications are important in Italy, not citizenship and passport. Not everything is perceived as many would like: “Russian? So he went too far and went for a long time,” Spinev said in an interview with RB Sport in early March.

Still, there is a possibility that Alexei will not be in Atalanta in the new season. Corriere della Serra claims the team will face a major cleanup this summer. Miranchuk is also one of the exit candidates.

The former coach of the Russian national team, Fabio Capello, believes that the football player will not have any problems with employment: “Alexey Miranchuk has excellent playing qualities and great talent. I think he has the capacity to play for any top Italian team. Juventus is no exception.”

But the option to return to Russia seems more realistic than a contract with the Italian giant. This was also hinted at by Alexei’s brother Anton, who volunteered to negotiate.

“My brother is serious about playing more in Europe. What is the probability of returning to Russia? Now there will be a pause, I will talk to him, I will negotiate,” said Anton Miranchuk.

Given the experience of playing in Serie A and the Russian national team, there should be no problems with employment in case of leaving Atalanta. And the rest – you have to wait for the end of the season and the opening of the transfer window.
