Zenit, four players
It seems that Daler Kuzyaev will once again try to find a club in Europe. Now there is interest in Fatih Karagyumryuk’s midfielder, where Magomed Ozdoev plays. This was stated by the sports director of the club Murad Akyn. Also, according to Stanislav Cherchesov, the Zenit player can sign Ferencvaros. By the way, Daler is the most expensive player in the RPL, whose contract expires in the summer.

Ferencváros manager
“Interest of” Ferencvaros “to Kuzyaev? When there is a player of this level… The same thing happened with Dziuba and Ozdoev, because we know very well the capabilities of the guys. If Kuzyaev really wants to leave Zenit, why leave to Turkey and not to Ferencvaros? Let’s give Daler a break, then we’ll call him, find out his plans, there’s no problem with that. Kuzyaev is Zenit’s main player, even with all the Brazilians in the squad. 11 Malcoms don’t exist, there are We have to balance the team, which Daler does. When there’s a chance to get a player like that, it’s hard to beat him. Although it’s clear we’re not in the front row, but we’ll try.
Gustavo Mantuan is on loan at Zenit but the club has a purchase option. According to the player’s agent, Luis Fernando García, the Brazilian wants to stay in the team despite other options. As for the contracts of the goalkeepers, then, most likely, Mikhail Kerzhakov will remain at Zenit for another year, but the future of Alexander Vasyutin is in doubt.
CSKA, three players
The army team is expiring the contracts of three defenders: Kirill Nababkin, Georgy Shchennikov and Moises. CSKA intends to redeem the Brazilian, according to general director Roman Babaev. As for Nababkin, the club management will sit down with him at the negotiating table at the end of the season, but Shchennikov will leave the team.

CSKA coach
“Why won’t CSKA renew the contract with Shchennikov? Probably every player will have to deal with this. Some before, others after. Service to the club for many years is worthy of respect, but football, unfortunately, is a contact sport, it has a high injury rate. Some get out of this easily, others experience discomfort, accompanied by a decrease in functionality. This is a lot of what prevents Giorgi from bringing the same benefit to the team as in previous years.
Rostov, six players
Rostov will not buy Alexander Silyanov from Lokomotiv, even though he has made 35 appearances in all tournaments this season. Even the player himself does not know anything about the future of Dmitry Poloz in Valery Karpin’s team. Evgeny Chernov, apparently, will return to Krasnodar. As for the future of Denis Terentyev, Nikolai Poyarkov and Alexander Selyava, there is no information about it yet. Given the fact that the players are not starting players, there is a high probability that they will leave Rostov.
Akmat, 10 players
In Akhmat, the contracts of Giorgi Shelia, Zoran Nizhich, Rizvan Utsiev, Turpal-Ali Ibishev, Minkail Matsuev, Lecha Sadulaev, Ivan Oleinikov, Vladislav Karapuzov, Islam Alsultanov and Ilya Chernyak expire. Among them are the starting players: Shelia, Oleinikov and Sadulaev. If Akhmat has not yet signed a new contract with the top two, then the club’s general director Ahmed Aidamirov announced the extension of the agreement with Lechi. The midfielder has scored five goals and provided six assists in 28 games in all competitions this season.

Dynamo, two players

Lokomotiv, seven players
Artyom Dziuba will remain at Lokomotiv. He signed a one-year contract with an option to extend for one more. François Camano is happy at the club and will speak to management about a new contract as he wants to stay. Ivan Ignatiev is not satisfied with the playing time, so he will most likely leave the club. It is also very likely that Igor Smolnikov and Dmitry Zhivoglyadov will leave. As for the future of Daniil Kulikov and Andrei Savin, there is no clarity, but the midfielder is likely to remain in the team.
