Valery Kechinov, a former player of the Russian national team and Moscow "Spartak," commented on rumors regarding the possible departure of two key players from the "red-whites." This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The rumors concern forward Manfred Ugalde and midfielder Ezequiel Barko. It was previously reported that "Feyenoord" and "Flamengo" clubs showed interest in these players.
According to Kechinov, the rumors about Ugalde and Barko leaving "Spartak" are unfounded. He believes such changes will not happen and emphasizes that the club will retain these players.
Last season, Ugalde played 29 matches in the Russian Premier League, scoring 17 goals and providing 5 assists, becoming the league's top scorer. Barko, on the other hand, played 27 matches, scoring 12 goals and providing 7 assists.
Thus, both players hold important positions in the team's starting lineup, and their departure could be a significant loss for the team. The club and fans wish for them to stay at "Spartak."
