Former Lokomotiv striker Fyodor Smolov commented on Sergey Pinyayev's decision not to transfer to CSKA. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Although the CSKA team was ready to pay a fine of 900 million rubles for Pinyayev, the player did not accept this offer. Smolov expressed his full support for the young midfielder's choice and emphasized that there is no sense in transferring from club to club within the Russian Premier League.
He stated that this is not a criticism of the CSKA team, but simply a logical consideration. According to Smolov, Galaktionov's style of play reveals Pinyayev's best qualities, and there is no need for him to play in CSKA's "rhombus" system.
These thoughts were expressed by Smolov in a podcast on the BetBoom Sports YouTube channel. Overall, the player prefers to stay in a team that aligns with his future and playing style.
