The management of the Russian top club announced on Tuesday evening that a rent ‘absolutely not possible’ and until the winter a sale is only negotiable if 25 million euros comes on the table. For less, Spartak certainly does not leave him because he is too important for the club.
The management of the player (Nathan van Kooperen, who is often in Moscow) thinks that there is a possibility for Feyenoord and confirms the reports that the player is willing to hand in salary to return to the Eredivisie.
Spartak Moscow holds strings
But in this case it is not the player who is on. His employer Spartak is in control and not so long ago, the club has taken more than 13 million euros at FC Twente for the striker scoring in Russia.
Not Ugald, but the management of Spartak must first close a deal with Feyenoord and, given the hard position on the transfer fee, Feyenoord currently seems to be able to forget the attracting of Manchester City attacker.
Turkish media at all not impressed by Feyenoord: ‘Destructive defeat’
Feyenoord previously made attempts in this transferwindow to bring Ugalde to De Kuip. That caused criticism because of the still lasting war between aggressor Russia and Ukraine. Companies and football clubs should not do business with the Russians for ethical reasons, although a football club does not violate rules if it nevertheless buys a player from the Russian competition.
Feyenoord’s ‘moral obstacles’
The ‘moral obstacles’ are therefore also a reason for the leadership of Feyenoord to certainly think ‘ten times’, before a knot is made for a serious attempt to get Ugalde.
