The general director of Zenit St. Petersburg, Alexander Medvedev, reacted to the information that the contract of striker Artyom Dziuba would not be extended. His words are quoted by “Sport-Express”.
Medvedev said that the issue will be resolved after it is determined whether Dziuba will be able to spend 70 percent of the playing time this season. At the same time, Metaratings.ru notes that the general director of the blue-white-blue wants the 33-year-old striker not to leave the team.
Earlier on December 26, “Championship.com” announced that the head coach of “Zenith” Sergei Semak did not want to remain in Dziuba's lineup. It was noted that Rubin held negotiations with the blue-white-blue on the player's transfer to the Kazan club.
Dziuba has been defending Zenit's colors since 2015. As part of the blue-white-blue, he won the Russian championship three times and won two Russian Cups. The striker has scored ten goals in 18 matches this season.
