The management of Moscow's Spartak football club is actively working on signing a contract with a central defender. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Famous sports commentator Nicolo Schira provided this information. According to the source, Spartak's main transfer target is Torino player Saul Koko.
The club has made an offer of 16 million euros to acquire this player. If this deal does not go through, Spartak is considering Galatasaray defender Karlos Cuesta as a backup option.
Previously, Spartak's head coach Dejan Stankovic mentioned that he has been asking the club management to strengthen one position for the past ten months, but he refrained from disclosing which position it is. The club management is noted to be actively operating in the transfer market and considering several candidates to strengthen the team.
Spartak is paying special attention to strengthening its defense line in order to improve results in the new season. Negotiations are currently ongoing, and the club is expected to reach a final decision soon.
