Rostov head coach Valery Karpin talked about the problems with club transfers due to Rostov-on-Don’s proximity to the Ukrainian border. His words are quoted Sports24.
“When an offer comes from Rostov, no player says: “Yes, yes, yes, I have dreamed of playing there all my life.” First, negotiations begin – people ask what Rostov is, where it is.
Later they learn that the airport is closed and the city is two hundred kilometers from the Ukrainian border. After that yes or no depending on your luck. You only know about one failed transfer but there were at least three or four more like it. For example, on June 24, two transfers failed. “There is a lot you don’t know, and thank God,” said the expert.
Rostov, who played 18 weeks in the Russian Premier League (RPL), ranked 11th in the rankings by scoring 21 points.
