Argentine midfielder Orenburg Lucas Vera said he is not against Russian citizenship.
“My contract is for three years. The adaptation in Russia went well, having Spanish-speaking guys on the team helped.
Are you going to get a Russian passport like Malcolm and Claudinho? Of course this is debatable. If this is possible, why not?
Are you taking a passport from Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin? I’m looking forward to it! ”, – quotes Vera’s words “Match TV”.
Vera moved to Orenburg last summer. In the current draw of the Russian Premier League (RPL), the Argentine played 17 games, scoring one goal and four assists.
