The Belgian footballer believes he is happy at Olympiacos and ruled out a move to Russian Premier League in the near future
CSKA Moscow enjoyed a busy winter transfer window where they signed Pontus Wernbloom, Ahmed Musa and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VVV-Venlo-c40915 and Gangneung City respectively.
Injuries to Zoran Tosic and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Viktor-Vasin-c36147 forced the Russian outfit to sign the aforementioned midfielders during the winter transfer window.
Aside from the latest arrivals, the Moscow-based club parted company with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Flamengo-c39361.
Though CSKA succeeded in bringing in promising midfielders for the upcoming third Russian Premier League round, they certainly failed to sign Love’s replacement during the transfer window.
There’s little arguing that the Armeytsy relied
heavily upon the Brazilian striker during the ongoing UEFA Champions League campaign, and many pointed out that CSKA lacked attacking instinct against Real Madrid in his absence.
Leonid Slutsky, the Koni head coach, is now left with only two first team strikers at his disposal, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Doumbia-c33175 and the injured Tomas Necid.
Reports in Russia suggested that CSKA tried to sign Olympiacos striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Mirallas-c20751, earlier this month. However, the deal failed to materialize due to reasons that were yet to be known until now.
Mirallas has now made it clear that he himself rejected a lucrative offer from Russia to stay with the Greek outfit.
"In January I could have gone to Russia, but I do not think it would be a good option. I do not want to leave Olympiacos in the middle of the ongoing season. The president of the club also wanted me to stay and help the team become
champions, this season.” The former LOSC Lille striker was quoted as saying.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 national, who made himself a cult hero during his stay at Saint-Etienne, is in decent form at the moment. His rich form has seen him score 13 goals in 18 league outings.
Olympiacos are at the second spot on the Super League http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 table and trail the top spot by two points.
