Dinamo football club midfielder Arsen Zakharyan has transferred to Real Sociedad. It has been reported “Brontosiabra”.
According to the source, the player signed a six-year contract with the Spanish club.
The 20-year-old Samara native played for the Dynamo youth team from 2017 to 2020, after which he transferred to the main team and spent three seasons at the Russian Premier League (RPL) level. Previously, English Chelsea, Dutch Ajax and Feyenoord were interested in Zakharyan.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Sociedad will pay Dynamo a bonus of €12 million for the Russian football player, including a percentage of a possible future sale.
Zaharyan was not included in the Moscow club’s application for the Russian Premier League’s fourth round match against Baltika on 13 August. The head coach of the club, Marcel Lichka, said that Zakharyan can be called a player of the Spanish team.
Former former football player of Moscow CSKA Vladimir Ponomarev reproach Zakharyan is smug.
