Valeriy Nepomnyashchiy, the former head coach of the Cameroon national team and "Tom" club, expressed his opinion on the possibility of two Spartak players leaving the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Earlier reports indicated that striker Manfred Ugalde has attracted interest from the Netherlands' "Feyenoord" club, while midfielder Esekyel Barko is in negotiations with Brazil's "Flamengo" club. As Nepomnyashchiy emphasized, Barko and Ugalde are key players for the team, especially Barko's role is significant.
Ugalde cannot fully express himself without Barko. This would be a major loss for "Spartak."
Last season, Costa Rican Ugalde scored 17 goals and provided 5 assists in 29 matches of the Russian championship, becoming the top scorer of the competition. Argentine player Barko scored 12 goals and provided 7 assists in 27 matches.
This information may be crucial in shaping the team's roster for the upcoming season.
