Lokomotiv Moscow president, Olga Smorodskaya, has denied reports linking their prized asset with a move away from Lokomotiv stadium during January transfer window.
Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denis-Glushakov-c10855, has remained tight-lipped over his potential move away from the Moscow-based club during the winter transfer window. However, he has not entirely ruled out a move, revealing that he
is yet to hear of interest from Zenit St. Petersburg.
News in Russia, earlier this week, had suggested that the Russian Giants are keen to sign the 25-year-old on a long-term deal following injuries to their star midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vladimir-Bystrov-c36328. In addition, a host of midfield players
are likely to leave the Petrovsky stadium in January.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alessandro-Rosina-c4741 likely to join his native Italian club, Zenit could struggle without talented midfield players.
Consequently, Zenit came up with their initial bid to sign the former FC Nika Moscow player, earlier this week.
However, they may have to pay a compensation fee, believed to be in the region of 20 million Euros, for the Russian midfielder who has a contract with the Russian outfit until June 2015.
"I do not know anything about the news that Locomotive have received any proposal from the Zenith regarding my transfer. The club representatives have not come to me to discuss the issue. And in general, I do not want to comment
on these rumours." Glushakov was quoted as saying.
Though Zenit could give Glushakov a chance to win his first Russian Premier League title, coupled with UEFA Champions League football straight away, he wants to remain in Moscow.
“I have always said that I am a Lokomotiv player and all my thoughts are connected with the Moscow-based club at the moment.” The former FC SKA Rostov-on-Don player said
The Parovozy president, Olga Smorodskaya, has also denied the transfer reports and revealed that he would not like to comment on the transfers at the moment.
Nevertheless, it still looks like Lokomotiv could offload their midfield hub to the St. Petersburg club for an appropriate fee, during this transfer window.
