Marseille midfielder Azzedin Unai has shown interest from the Spartak club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
However, the 25-year-old Moroccan footballer has declined the offer from the Moscow team. According to Euro-Futbol.
According to the publication, there are several reasons for Unai's rejection. Firstly, the Spartak team does not participate in European competitions. In Unai's opinion, playing in Russia without European competitions is not the best option for his sports career.
For this reason, he prefers to move from Marseille to Panathinaikos. Panathinaikos finished second in the Greek championship and managed to qualify for the Champions League qualifying round. Secondly, Unai spent last season on loan at Panathinaikos and felt very comfortable there, playing as an important player.
Spartak, on the other hand, seems like an unknown path for the Moroccan footballer. Thirdly, the political factor is also important. According to sources, Unai is concerned about how his relatives living in Europe would react to moving to Russia.
For this reason, he is approaching the decision-making process with caution. At the same time, a favorable and stable environment is considered important for the player's future career.
Taking into account his development in sports and global opportunities, Unai is choosing the most optimal option.
