“Miranchuk really had a lease offer with the right to buy back from Milan. I know about this from very reliable sources. But it arrived at the last moment, when the Italian club received money from the sale of Krzysztof Pöntek to Hertha. The Rossoneri had three options for strengthening, and Miranchuk was not in the first number on this list, but under the second or third, but when the other candidates broke, they turned to Alexei. However, Lokomotiv had too little time to sell the player, ”Arustamyan said in an interview with RT.
According to the journalist, the refusal of the Russian club in this case looked logical.
“To conduct negotiations“ in the heat ”, when a few hours remain before the transfer window closes in Europe, it makes no sense. Ahead of the club all spring, and the price of Miranchuk should not fall. In Italy, they are still impressed by his game in matches against Juventus, and Alexey can easily go there if God forbid he gets injured or doesn’t lose his form at all, ”added Arustamyan.
Earlier, the Partizan head coach spoke about the prospects of Alexei Miranchuk in Europe.
