Former Spartak player Alexander Mostovoy commented on the transfer amount of the midfielder Claude from Zenit to the Qatari club Al-Sadd.
20 million euros for Claudinho? Wow! Of course, the amount is surprising. Now the market is good, there are sales opportunities. There is Qatar, there is Saudi Arabia, there is China. But China’s situation is a little worse today. If you asked me: “Would anyone in Europe buy Claudinho for 20 million euros?” Of course I would say no. And Qatar – please. Zenit did a good job; they used the market, where the money spent can be recovered.
