Sport Express columnist Maxim Nikitin on the podcast “Premier League of Injustice” statedSpartak Moscow has personally begun talks about the transfer of Russian forward Alexander Sobolev to Zenit St. Petersburg, the club said.
“The story of Zenit was started by Sobolev himself. Zenit would never have thought that Sobolev could join them. This is Sobolev’s initiative. That is, he said: “I want to go to Zenit?” In a way, yes,” he said.
On July 23, it became known that the forward was suspended from training with the main team. Sobolev missed the second round match of the Russian Premier League against Khimki near Moscow.
Sobolev has been playing for Spartak since 2020. In total, he played 139 matches for the team, scored 58 goals and made 32 assists. His contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026. In the completed season of the Russian Championship, Sobolev played 27 matches and scored five goals.
At the beginning of the new season, Spartak lost to Orenburg and beat Khimki near Moscow. Zenit has two victories over Krylia Sovetov Samara and Rubin Kazan.
