Orenburg President Kirill Volzhenkin said his team was ready to replace Torpedo in the Russian Premier League.
We have no official information, but this (the exclusion of the Moscow club from the Premier League) is only speculation. But we are ready for the RPL Both in terms of composition and infrastructure, at least tomorrow. Naturally, we want to play there.
Torpedo itself had previously announced financial stability and preparation for the season.
Recall that it recently became known about the detention of the club’s co-owner Leonid Sobolev and team director Valeria Skorodumova. A criminal case has been filed against the officials on suspicion of attempting to illegally influence the results of a sports competition.
