Quincy Promes, a forward for Spartak Moscow, has returned to the club’s training camp in the United Arab Emirates. The update came from RB Sports, which noted that Promes, after taking two days off following Spartak’s victory in the Red-Whites’ Winline Winter Cup, rejoined the squad for practice with his teammates.
Promes’ return comes amid a high-stakes legal backdrop. On February 14, an Amsterdam court convicted him of cocaine trafficking and sentenced him to six years in prison. The case hearing occurred on January 24, with prosecutors having requested a nine-year term. Following the verdict, Promes was placed on an international wanted list on February 16. It is important to highlight that Promes does not hold a Russian passport, a detail that has complicated his legal and professional situation.
Promes has been associated with Spartak Moscow since February 2021, marking a second stint with the club. He previously played for the Red-Whites from 2014 to 2018 and was part of the squad that won the Russian championship in the 2016/17 season. His return to the club in 2021 added veteran experience to Spartak, particularly in a campaign that saw the team compete at the highest levels of Russian football and strive for domestic titles.
Earlier reporting indicated that a former Barcelona player, Danilo Alves, had been detained amid a separate set of legal issues. The situation has contributed to a broader narrative around transfers, player movement, and off the field challenges affecting high-profile football figures in Europe. Analysts and fans have watched closely how these developments might influence Promes’ status with Spartak Moscow, as well as potential implications for his international career and future club opportunities.
