MOSCOW, Oct 1, Alena Sulizova. Football agent Dmitry Selyuk stated that the acquisition of Strahini Erakovic was a mistake for Zenit St. Petersburg.
Erakovic moved to Zenit from the Serbian Red Star on July 23. Spartak was also interested in the 22-year-old player. According to media reports, the Red and Whites offered Crvena Zvezda seven million euros for the player.
“»Erakovic is a mistake. He is not worth that kind of money. To be honest, I would not pay attention to the Yugoslavs. Because if a Yugoslav has a more or less decent club in Europe, he will go there and will go. Erakovic played for several years at Crvena Zvezda — there was no offer even for 3 million, let alone 8. But the owner is a gentleman. Once they guessed right with Malcolm, Wendel and somewhere with Claudinho, but that doesn’t say about how everyone is like that. There was Kuzyaev, who did the grunt work, maybe was less noticeable, but I believe that he was one of the main players of Zenit,” Selyuk said.
