Eduard More, the former Spartak Moscow forward who has stepped into punditry, weighs in on the future of Alexei Miranchuk, the Russia international midfielder. More believes the best move for Miranchuk might be a return to Italy, specifically Turin, where he thinks the midfielder could thrive. The Italian outlet Match TV covered More’s evaluation, which centers on the match readiness and familiarity Miranchuk would bring to a Torino squad that already knows him well. Attribution: Match TV.
More argues that Miranchuk has already demonstrated his goal-scoring ability and his knack for providing assists, even during a period when his role felt uncertain. The suggestion is clear: Torino could become the ideal destination. In More’s view, the club offers more than just a change of scenery. It promises a stable position within the squad and a coach who understands Miranchuk inside out. The certainty of a place in the lineup is highlighted as a major factor in why Turin would suit him perfectly. More even forecasts a constructive six-month spell that could intensify into a permanent, summer upgrade if the transition goes as hoped. He emphasizes Miranchuk’s readiness to deliver peak form right away. Attribution: Match TV.
Miranchuk arrived in Italy in September 2020, when he joined Atalanta from Lokomotiv Moscow. The contract with Atalanta runs through June 2025, a detail of interest to clubs evaluating long-term plans for the midfielder. Torino has often been mentioned as a potential next stop in Miranchuk’s career, given the player’s previous experience in Italy and the leagues’ familiarity. The situational context suggests that a move to Turin would not be a seismic shift but rather a step that could fit Miranchuk’s style and ambitions. Attribution: Match TV.
During the 2022 loan spell with Torino, Miranchuk found himself on the field quite regularly, contributing four goals across 29 appearances. That loan period provided Torino with a clearer sense of how Miranchuk could influence domestic competition, even though his return to Atalanta followed. In the subsequent season, Miranchuk was integrated back into the Atalanta squad, where he appeared in 12 matches across all competitions, recording one goal and two assists. Those numbers reflect a player capable of impacting games when given appropriate minutes and tactical support. Attribution: Match TV.
In the current discussions surrounding Miranchuk’s long-term home, Atalanta has not presented a definitive public stance on his future. The absence of a firm position from the Bergamo club keeps the door open for several possibilities, including a potential return to a club where the player already has proven he can contribute. This ambiguity means the market continues to watch Miranchuk’s next steps with keen interest, especially for teams seeking not only talent but also a player who can adapt quickly to different tactical systems.
