Fernandez leaves for Zenit
CSKA has become the main newsmaker of the past seven days. On Tuesday, agent Jorge Machado said that the legend of the army club Mario Fernandez will not return to Moscow.
«
"The clubs failed to reach an agreement. They don't negotiate anymore. Most likely, Mario will not be in CSKA,” said Machado.
Although earlier club president Evgeny Giner assured that the defender's comeback is close. According to journalist Fabio Aleixo, CSKA had to pay 365,000 euros to Brazilian Internacional as compensation. The leadership of the “red-blue” did not like this alignment. Muscovites did not want to become a «charitable foundation» and pay for their football player, who was released to his homeland out of old friendship. So Fernandez started looking at other options.
One of them was Zenit. According to Sport, in St. Petersburg, the defender will receive 2 million euros a year. The contract will be for three years. Fernandez can make his debut already in the match for the Super Bowl against the former club. >The Brazilian played for CSKA from 2012 to 2022, playing 329 matches. Fernandez won the championship and the Super Cup of Russia three times, and also took the Cup of the country once. Last summer, the defender left the team «for family reasons.» The ex-football player of the Russian national team spent the past season at Internacional (five matches).
Medina — in «Spartak»
The problems of CSKA with the loss of Fernandez did not end. On Friday it became known about the departure of the Paraguayan midfielder Jesús Medina. Moreover, in the Moscow «Spartak», in the camp of a principal rival.
The transfer amount will be 7.5 million euros.
CSKA head coach Vladimir Fedotov spoke about the situation in the following way:
«
“We know that football is a business lately, and it is happening,” said the specialist. — Improved conditions, probably, are equal to what a football player develops for, going through the stages of careers. He is a legionnaire, he is little offended by the relationship between the two Moscow teams. Too few, maybe here. Didn't get into that spirit of derby controversy. So, as they say, everything came together. In this regard, we cannot keep the player. Or we need to build up financial proposals. We do not have such an opportunity. Therefore, Medina moves to Spartak. » />
The Paraguayan came to CSKA in January 2022 from New York City. As part of the “army” South American played 45 matches, scored 12 goals and gave 10 assists. El Futbolero Chile announced the interest of Muscovites in the playmaker of the Mexican «America» Diego Valdez. The Chilean footballer expressed his desire to continue his career in Europe.

"Honestly, I'm looking forward to it. I did not follow the Russian championship for a long time, I played in Turkey. The way «Torch» returned to the RPL, simply can not leave indifferent. I began to follow. I saw how the team fights for the fans, and they support it both at home and away. When the version with «Torch» arose, I immediately told Alexander Samedov that I was very captivated by this story. I'd rather be done with all the affairs in Turkey and join the team in Voronezh.
