Spertsyan is ready for Europe – PSV and Feyenoord want him. Could have left in the summer, but stayed to help Krasnodar

Russian football has been isolated from Europe for many months, but there is still demand for players from the RPL. The latest rumors are related to Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan – two Dutch top clubs are persistently interested in him.

•‎ The first information about this appeared at the end of December. RB Sport wrote that PSV is actively following the 22-year-old player – he was considered as a replacement for Cody Gakpo, who left for Liverpool. Then it was reported that the Dutch club had already been in contact with Spertsyan, and substantive negotiations would be held during the winter training camp of Krasnodar.

•‎ In January, RB Sport gave an insider that Spertsyan will not leave Krasnodar in the winter – he is focused on helping the club in the spring part of the championship. A couple of days later, an unnamed source of Sport24 said: “In the Netherlands, only two clubs are interested in Spertsyan – PSV and Feyenoord. These two teams are considering the player as a potential transfer in the summer.”

•‎ Based on media reports, PSV are more interested in Eduard than Feyenoord. But even if Spertsyan agrees to a transfer in the winter, PSV will have to unload the payroll. According to RB Sport, for this they need to part with midfielder Marco van Ginkel.

In the summer, Nice, Gladbach and Fiorentina were interested in Spertsyan

PSV and Feyenoord are not the first European clubs to be interested in Spertsyan. Last summer, Eduard could well have gone to one of the clubs from the top 5 leagues.

•‎ Ex-goalkeeper of the Armenian national team Roman Berezovsky, referring to a conversation with Spertsyan, claimed that he had several offers from Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga.

•‎ Metaratings wrote at the end of May that Nice was preparing an offer to buy the 22-year-old football player, but the matter did not go beyond rumors.

•‎ In mid-June, it was reported that two clubs from the Bundesliga were interested in Spertsyan. Hoffenheim was suspected, but the sports director of the German club denied interest in the player.

•‎ Already in November, Metaratings shared an insider that Borussia Mönchengladbach and Wolfsburg wanted to buy the player in the summer, but they failed to agree with Krasnodar.

•‎ And in December, RB Sport wrote that Fiorentina had approached Spertsyan in the summer, but the player almost immediately refused.
