Former CSKA and USSR national football player Vladimir Ponomarev criticized army club forward Fedor Chalov over the situation with the player’s contract extension. He shared his opinion with him “Euro-Football.Ru”.
“Chalov was stupid about the salary. Now he wants to get 2.5 million euros per season; The current salary is not suitable for him. I also found an actor. He shouldn’t show any ambition here. If I were Giner, I would even reduce his salary. Otherwise, it shows that he will leave. “No one needs him in Europe anyway,” said the veteran.
On 6 February, journalist Ivan Karpov reported that CSKA had offered Chalov a new contract with an annual salary of €2.5 to €3 million. The footballer’s representatives are seeking a signing bonus of €4 million, including agent fees.
