On January 29, a meeting of the Russian Football Union (RFU) chamber was held to resolve the disputes, at which a decision was made to ban the registration of newcomers to Lokomotiv Moscow. This has been reported official website of the organization.
The Moscow club was banned as a temporary measure due to a dispute with football player Mikhail Ivankov. The RFU accepted the application. Lokomotiv was ordered to pay compensation and a fine to the player for early termination. Mikhail Ivankov is a student of the “railway workers”.
During the winter transfer window, Lokomotiv loaned midfielder Konstantin Maradishvili to Paris Nizhny Novgorod. The Muscovites also acquired the rights to Krylia Sovetov’s winger Nikita Saltykov. He will join the club after the end of the season.
Before the Russian championship restarts, Lokomotiv is in fourth place with 31 points. Krasnodar continues its leadership with 38 points. Zenit is in second place with 36 points.
Former player of Spartak statedthat the club paid too much for a striker from the Dutch championship.
