Turin Juventus has not made contact with Krasnodar about acquiring Eduard Spertsyan. The rumor mill picked up speed as reports circulated across European outlets, with speculation centering on whether Juve sent scouts to monitor Spertsyan during Armenian national team fixtures and during Krasnodar’s domestic games.
Spertsyan, born in Stavropol, joined Krasnodar’s system in 2010 and progressed through the academy before making his first-team debut in 2018. The 23-year-old midfielder carries both Russian and Armenian citizenship and has represented Armenia at the international level since 2021. He has grown into a pivotal figure for Krasnodar, showcasing creativity, pace, and an eye for goal from the midfield.
His contract with Krasnodar runs through the summer of 2026, reflecting the club’s ongoing plans for his development. In the 2022/23 Russian Premier League campaign, Spertsyan appeared in 28 league fixtures, contributing 10 goals and 11 assists as Krasnodar navigated a challenging season. The Bulls finished sixth in the table with 48 points and advanced to the Russian Cup final, where they were defeated by CSKA Moscow in the championship clash.
Former Krasnodar coach Sergey Semak has spoken about the club’s status in Russian football, describing Krasnodar as a leader in the league and emphasizing the team’s competitive standards and development philosophy. Spertsyan’s profile continues to grow as he balances club duties with international responsibilities, drawing interest from top European scouts who monitor his performances closely while continuing to respect his current commitments with Krasnodar.
