Russian football expert Pavel Stipidi named three young Russian football players who may move to Europe in an interview with the publication "Euro-Futbol.Ru". This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, currently, two or three young players have the opportunity to play in good championships. These championships include Spain, Germany, England, and Italy.
He also added the Netherlands championship, which is currently one of the countries that prepares the best football players.
The "Ajax" club is known as the strongest team in presenting its players to the world. Stipidi also paid attention to Greek football. He stated that there are now not just one or two, but five strong teams there.
In particular, the "Olympiacos" and "PAOK" teams stand out among many Russian teams in the European Cup qualifying stages. In the expert's opinion, Batrakov is a strong player, and Kislyak is also performing at a high level. He specifically highlighted Sadulaev but noted that some are overlooking him.
Stipidi also expressed surprise that major clubs like CSKA, "Lokomotiv," and "Spartak" are not interested in Sadulaev. 20-year-old Batrakov played 37 games for "Lokomotiv" last season, scoring 15 goals and providing 10 assists. His transfer value is estimated at around 12 million euros. 19-year-old Matvey Kislyak played 33 games for CSKA in all competitions in the 2024/25 season, scoring four goals and providing one assist.
His market value is around 8 million euros. 25-year-old Lechi Sadulaev was trained at the "Akhmat" club. Last season, he played 35 games for the Grozny team, scoring 3 goals and providing 4 assists.
His value is estimated at around 3.5 million euros. It is said that these players may test themselves in strong European championships in the near future.
This will be an important opportunity for their development and for Russian football.
