MOSCOW, May 6, Pavel Levkovich. Forward of St. Petersburg «Zenith» Artem Dzyuba, in the event of a transfer to Red Star, will not be able to win competition from Serbian football players, this opinion was expressed by the former player of Moscow Spartak and the USSR national team Yuri Gavrilov. In July 2020, Dzyuba signed a contract with Zenit according to the 2 + 1 scheme «. The agreement can be extended under conditions that have not been officially disclosed. Earlier, RT channel reported that 33-year-old Dziuba does not want to renew the agreement and plans to continue his career in Europe. According to media reports, there is interest in the striker from the Serbian «Red Star» and the Turkish «Fenerbahce».
"Dzyuba can leave wherever he wants, but he is unlikely to withstand the competition. In "Red Star" full of theirs. I understand that they want to cash in on Artem, but I don’t know if people will be able to do this with Dziuba or not. Frankly, I do not believe that if he leaves, he will win the competition there. Young Serbs are unlikely to want to give up their seats. And in Russia, Dziuba is no longer needed. If he had been younger, maybe he would have found a club. As a result, it will be difficult for Artem to find a club both in Russia and abroad", said Gavrilov.
Dzyuba moved to Zenit in 2015. He is a four-time champion of Russia in the «blue-white-blue», two-time winner of the Russian Cup, four-time winner of the Russian Super Cup.
