MOSCOW, Sep 8, Pavel Levkovich. Slovenian defender Miha Mevlja went down wages to play for Spartak Moscow, said the player's agent Yevgeny Novikov. On Thursday, Spartak announced the signing of a contract with Mevley for one season with the possibility of an extension for another year if certain conditions are met. Previously, Mevlya played in the Russian Premier League (RPL) for Rostov, St. Petersburg Zenit and Sochi. His last club was the Turkish Alanyaspor.
"With "Spartak" it's hard not to find a common language. They quickly came to a decision, because there was no time already. The first negotiations took place a month ago, and more specifically, they began to communicate after the injury of Ruslan Litvinov. Will the contract be renewed if Miha plays 90 percent of the matches? We would sign if 99 percent were written there. It's not about the option, the point here is that it's "Spartacus".
Micah accepted this offer with great pleasure. Considering that we had two more years of contract with "Alanyaspor", Miha broke the contract and came to "Spartak" for less money. All because it's "Spartak", they don't invite you there twice. The sports principle was higher than the monetary one. Imagine, a 32-year-old player with a million dollar contract abroad went for less money. This is a conscious transition. Moreover, Micha understands the pressure he will face. He really appreciates his strength & # 34;, — said Novikov.
