Georgy Dzhikia’s clash over delayed Moscow apartments and the looming lawsuit
The defender and captain of Spartak Moscow, Georgy Dzhikia, did not wait for the promised delivery of his six Moscow apartments and moved to seek substantial compensation from the developer. The information circulated by the Telegram channel Puree highlights a dispute that blends sports prominence with real estate tensions in the capital.
The properties in question are located in the Khoroshevo-Mnevniki district, on Shenogina Street. An agreement reached with the athlete set clear timelines for completion, with the developer described as a leading name in the construction sector. The contract anticipated delivery of the units during the second and third quarters of 2023, but those deadlines were not met, triggering the legal response from Dzhikia.
In response to the missed delivery terms, Dzhikia initiated court proceedings to demand 6.8 million rubles in compensation for late completion. The case is scheduled to be heard on January 18, 2024, marking a formal escalation from a private dispute to a judicial process that could set a notable precedent for athlete property agreements in major cities.
Georgy Dzhikia has represented Spartak Moscow since 2017, contributing to the club’s trophy cabinet with a league title and a Russian Cup victory. His involvement with the team has seen him participate in a modest number of matches in the current Russian Premier League season. Despite the club’s status, his presence on the field has been limited, with a fraction of the available league games featuring his playtime this season. His current contract with Spartak is set to expire in the middle of next year, creating a window of potential change for both player and club.
Spartak Moscow entered the mid-season break with a tally of 30 points after 18 rounds, positioning the club in fifth place in the league table. The Russian Premier League paused for the winter, with plans to resume in March. The upcoming 19th round was scheduled to begin with Spartak facing an away challenge against Zenit Saint Petersburg, a match that would test their form after the resumption.
Earlier reporting indicated tensions between Dzhikia and other figures connected to the club, including a noted clash with a figure identified as Abascal. The public dimension of these disputes underscores how a player’s off-pield affairs, including real estate matters, can intersect with their professional responsibilities and public image.
