Russian football journalist Artur Petrosyan reckons that due to the financial crisis in his country, the highly paid footballers will have their contracts terminated by their respective clubs…
If these players do become available, as Petrosyan claims, undoubtedly a number of Premier League clubs will make it a priority to capture the best ones in transfer bargains…
Heres five of the players who’d be most sought after.
1) Hulk – Zenit St. Peterseburg
The Brazilian powerhouse is probably the biggest name player in Russia, following a multimillion move from Porto a few seasons back. He’s more than capable of playing for one of Europe’s best sides. Linked to Chelsea in the past.
2) Seydou Doumbia – CSKA Moscow
The Ivorian striker scores goals for fun in Russia, and has been linked to Liverpool as a result.
3) Axel Witsel – Zenit St. Petersburg
Witsel is a giant Belgian midfielder, who’s the second most expensive player (behind Hulk) to ever join the Russian leagues.
4) Ezequiel Garay – Zenit St. Petersburg
The centre-back has been long-admired by Manchester United, who would surely be happy to sign him as soon as January if he were to become available. Garay currently starts for the Argentina national side.
5) Mathieu Valbuena – Dinamo Moscow
The diminutive Frenchman surprised everyone when he joined from Marseille in the summer, and there’ll no doubt be plenty of suitors should he become available again this summer.
