Slutsky says CSKA Moscow has not received a concrete proposal for Honda’s transfer – Football News
CSKA Moscow head coach, Leonid Slutsky, has confirmed that the Russian Premier League club is yet to receive a concrete proposal from any club regarding the sale of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Keisuke-Honda-c20516 this summer.
“Preparations for the championship will start shortly. Players are expected to come to Moscow at different times and in different conditions. Honda and Musa were involved in the FIFA Confederations Cup. So, they will arrive on
July 7, less than a week before the Super Bowl http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991. I think the championship should start a little later. What is the situation with Honda? The situation has not changed much in recent years. His contract will expire after six months and we will only sell
the player if we get the right offer. At the moment there is no concrete offer,” the former Uralan Elista manager was quoted as saying.
The Japanese playmaker has been linked with a move outside Moscow, with the likes of AC Milan, Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 FC reportedly interested in the services of the player, who has just six months remaining on his current
contract.
If speculations are to be believed, the Milan-based club are ahead other clubs in the race to sign Honda given that they want to fill the void after the departure of attacking players during the last two transfer windows.
Honda, who has scored seven goals in 23 league appearances last season, has already made it clear that he will not renew his current contract with the Russian outfit after expressing a desire to play for a bigger club in the near
future.
However, the Moscow-based club will only offload the 27-year-old should they get at least 7 million for their prized asset. CSKA reportedly turned down a 4 million Euro offer for the player from Turkish Super Lig club, Fenerbahce
S.K, last week.
Slutsky said that Honda, who played for the Japanese national team in the confederation cup, will have little time to prepare for the Russian Super Cup against Zenit St. Petersburg at Rostov-on-don next month.
CSKA have a chance to claim their third trophy in a season, having already won the league title and Russian Cup this season.
