MOSCOW, Jan 12 Midfielder Yuri Zhirkov spoke about the salary he received offered in the Moscow Region “Khimki”. Earlier it became known that 38-year-old Zhirkov on Wednesday passed a medical examination in “Khimki”. The last club of the footballer was the St. Petersburg “Zenith”, the contract with which expired last summer.
& # 34; This evening I will decide whether to sign a contract with & # 34; Khimki & # 34 ;. Everything will depend on the leg, how it will feel. Money does not play any role in this situation. I am offered twice less than I received at & # 34; Zenith & # 34 ;. I am interested in sports history and the fact that I will play almost next to the house & # 34 ;, — Zhirkov said in an interview with Sport24.
According to media reports, Zhirkov received 2.4 million euros a year at Zenit.
