Shikunov: Spartak needs to strengthen its squad

A specialist active in the field of football, Aleksandr Shikunov, who previously served as the sports director of the "Spartak" team, shared his thoughts on the transfer policy of the capital club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

He emphasized that it will be difficult for "Spartak" with the current squad and the team needs to strengthen. At least three positions need to be reinforced.

According to the specialist, the team's results will also depend on retaining Manfred Ugalde and Eskyel Barkoni. During the current season, "Spartak" has only added one player to the team, forward Anton Zabolotniy.

The Russian transfer window will close on September 11. The "red-white" team will play their first match of the new season against "Dinamo" from Makhachkala at home on July 19.

In Shikunov's opinion, strengthening the team and retaining key players is crucial for the team's successful participation. This, in turn, will help increase the capital club's competitiveness in the new season.

Thus, the "Spartak" management needs to seriously consider the transfer policy and make necessary changes. The team's fans can also be hopeful for the new season.
