The agent of Orenburg team forward Ivan Ignatyev, Alan Aguzarov, revealed the main reason for the player's return to Russia. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Ivan previously played for the Algerian club Kabylie and played an important role in securing the silver medal in the local championship. According to Aguzarov, Ignatyev's desire to return to Russia is his primary and sole reason.
Earlier media reports suggested that the player's return was influenced by his girlfriend wanting to leave Algeria, his grandmother's deteriorating health, and difficulties adapting to the local championship and life. Additionally, as the agent noted, the Arsenal club from Tula city also showed interest in Ignatyev.
This club is managed by Dmitry Gunko, with whom the player previously worked at Armenia's Urartu team. However, according to Aguzarov, the Arsenal club was financially unable to complete Ignatyev's transfer.
Thus, the player's return to Russia was related to his personal desire and financial opportunities.
