Amur’s general director responded to the club’s refusal to pay for Nikolishin’s operation
Amur general manager Vadim Pokotilo commented on reports that the club allegedly refused to pay for striker Ivan Nikolishin’s operation in Germany.
“Yes, we have seen these articles and blogs from journalists. They have caused nothing but confusion. They did not immediately comment on these speculations in order to give Ivan the opportunity to make the right decision without pressure. But now it is already possible and necessary to clarify the situation.
The club had neither the right nor the opportunity to pay for Ivan’s operation in Germany. We offered to pay for it in any Russian clinic at the player’s choice. He decided to go abroad and issued a written waiver of any claim against the club in this regard. The document is in our archive. The statements of respected journalists that the Club promised to pay for the operation later with the checks and other documents provided by Iván have nothing to do with reality.
Separately, I want to note that over the past two seasons, the Club has not allowed a single violation of its obligations to the players and not a single delay in the payment of salaries and bonuses. Payment for Nikolishin’s operation would not be a problem for us, but there are simply no grounds for such payment, which Ivan himself agreed to in writing. The media wrote that there was allegedly an agreement to include the cost of the operation in Nikolishin’s new contract. I’ll say this: Under the two-year contract offered to Ivan, he could earn seven times as much as he did last year. And the cost of the operation, this amount exceeded dozens of times, ”the Amur website quotes Pokotilo.
