Zenit Chairman Alexander Medvedev said that Brazilian midfielder Claudinho will take part in the presidential elections in Russia. His words are quoted “Sports Express”.
“As a Russian citizen, Claudinho will naturally vote in the presidential elections. He knows his rights and responsibilities,” Medvedev said.
Claudinho has been playing for Zenit since August 2021. On September 19, 2022, Zenit confirmed the information that the football player wanted to obtain Russian citizenship, and six months later, by the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the midfielder was given this right. Brazilian Malcom, who joined Al-Hilal with him, also became a citizen of the Russian Federation.
It is worth noting that Claudinho became the 2020 Olympic champion as part of the Brazilian national team.
Playing in all 19 matches in the Russian Premier League (RPL) this season, Claudinho scored three goals and four assists. Zenit is in second place with 37 points. Krasnodar is leading by two points.
