Moscow "Dynamo" team and Russian national team defender Maxim Osipenko spoke about why he chose the "white-blue" team despite receiving an offer from "Spartak". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Osipenko plays for "Dynamo" under coach Valery Karpin, with whom he previously worked together for many years at the "Rostov" team. However, according to the player, the coach's decision was not the main reason for his choice.
My connection with "Dynamo" goes back many years. In 2018, when I was playing for the "Fakel" team, I came here for a trial.
The current situation has also been ongoing for a long time. "Dynamo" showed interest for a long time.
Why not "Spartak"? Because it's "Dynamo," Osipenko said in an interview with the "Championat" publication.
The defender's contract with the "white-blue" team is set to last until June 30, 2028. The transfer value of the 31-year-old player is five million euros.
