Paltsev will find it difficult to secure a main position in "Spartak"

Former "Zenit" striker and football expert Aleksey Gasilin commented on the possibility of central defender Valentin Paltsev from Makhachkala "Dinamo" moving to Moscow "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

According to Gasilin, despite being called up to the national team, Paltsev has little chance of securing a permanent spot in the starting lineup if he moves to "Spartak", and he is likely to be a member of the reserve squad. According to the expert, currently "Spartak" has a reliable pair in central defense, and head coach Stankovich has great confidence in them.

Paltsev has recently improved his game, and moving to "Spartak" is considered his long-term goal. However, this transfer could be a serious loss for Makhachkala "Dinamo".

It was previously reported that the "red-whites" have shown serious interest in the 24-year-old defender. In the 2024/25 season, Valentin Paltsev played in 34 matches and provided one assist.
