“There was some communication, as far as I know. I haven’t heard anything about an official offer. I spoke with CSKA’s management. There was no official offer, just some communication,” emphasized the Russian star’s agent.
It’s worth noted, however, that due to the state of war in Russia, no money can be transferred from a team in a European Union country to a Russian club for the purchase of a player.
