Spartak Moscow, a Russian powerhouse, has denied rumours that Nigerian Victor Moses might leave the Russian Cup champions during the summer transfer window.
Since the beginning of the 2022–23 season, Moses has been in excellent shape for Spartak.
The 31-year-old has scored twice in three games while settling into his new position with the Russian team and Guille Abascal as manager. He has also assisted Spartak in accumulating seven points through the first three games.
The former Chelsea player has been linked with a move away from Russia and with the new FIFA rule allowing Russian-based foreign footballers to suspend their contracts for one season; speculations continue to grow that the Nigerian could be on his way out of the club.
In an interview with Championat, a Russian publication, the club’s press chief Dmitry Zelenov brushes off claims that Moses is set for an exit from the club.
“You are operating on rumours. We saw what shape Moses got, and how great he plays. For today’s match, we have released a program with an interview with Guillermo Abascal: there he talked a lot about Moses,” Zelenov told Championat.
“We now want to talk about Moses in a football way. Moses is one of the best, if not the best, in his position in the RPL.
“We are glad that there is such a player in Spartak. How long will he play for Spartak? I have talked about this many times and I will say it again: the current situation, the situation does not give us a guarantee for any player, except for the Russians.”
