Anton Miranchuk, Russian football player of the Swiss team “Sion” YouTube channel Nobel Arustamyan stated that some European clubs did not want to sign a contract with him due to his citizenship.
“Germany? Here I understood the situation immediately, I did not even bring up this situation. It is similar to Celtic. “There was also a club from Spain where a Ukrainian player played, so they did not want to do business,” Miranchuk said.
Miranchuk, who became both the national champion and the winner of the Russian Cup with Lokomotiv, signed a 2-year contract with Sion at the beginning of September. On September 22, the 28-year-old midfielder made his debut for the new team in the championship match against Lugano (0:0). He managed to play in three matches in total in the Swiss championship, where he was not effective.
The midfielder took the number ten spot at Sion.
Miranchuk scored two goals in the friendly match against Lausanne. He played five matches without scoring a goal in official matches.
