Former Celta and Russian national team football player Alexander Mostovoy spoke Youtube channel “This is football, brother!”, Which important clubs did he receive transfer offers from during his career in Spain?
“Is there an offer from big teams? Barcelona and Real Madrid when I was 31. Why was I afraid to cross the street? I wasn’t afraid! I didn’t want to change my lifestyle. The club wanted a lot of money, but they didn’t want to pay.
I could have insisted, but I didn’t. I thought everything looked great here, the kids were little, everything was amazing, but I have to throw it all away. We agreed, the price was 20 million, they said, “31 years old, what is 20 million, what are you talking about?” they said. Now it’s like 100, of course. Of course I regret it,” Mostovoy said.
Mostovoy is a two-time USSR champion as part of Spartak Moscow (1987, 1989). He also played for Portuguese Benfica, French Strasbourg and Caen and Spanish Alaves. He won the Spanish and Portuguese Cups with Celta and Benfica respectively.
As part of the Russian national team, Mostovoy played 50 matches, in which he scored ten goals and made nine assists.
