Defender Valentin Paltsev spoke about the interest shown by the "Krasnodar" club in his services. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The footballer said that he first heard about his transfer to the new team from Shamil Gazizov, the general director of Makhachkala's "Dinamo" club. After the game, Shamil Kamilovich approached him and said, "Valentin, now it's time to say goodbye."
Valentin did not understand this and asked why, but was told he would receive an answer later. Later, representatives of Paltsev's agency contacted him and connected him with the "Krasnodar" club.
The most important conversation was with the team's head coach Murad Musayev. In the 2025/2026 season, the defender played in ten matches and managed to score one goal.
3.2 million euros were paid for the transfer of the 24-year-old footballer. This move marked a new stage in his career, and he is expected to be a great help to the team in the future.
