Andrey Chervichenko, the former president of Tashkent's "Spartak" team, expressed his interest in two defenders, Kurt Zuma and Valentin Paltsev. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Chervichenko, although Zuma is a stronger player, he prefers the option of acquiring Paltsev. He also emphasized that testing a Russian footballer is more appropriate than an unknown foreign player.
"Spartak" has had negative experiences with legionnaires, having purchased many players, but only a few have succeeded. Currently, Paltsev is playing for the "Dinamo" club in Makhachkala.
His transfer could cost "Spartak" four to five million euros. Kurt Zuma is currently active as a free agent after leaving "West Ham."
This information was provided by the "Sovetskiy sport" publication. The club's management is acting cautiously in selecting defenders and is striving to make the best decision for the future of the team.
