CSKA is preparing for the transfer market and may make several deals in the winter window. In this article we will talk about Konstantin Kuchaev, Bruno Mendez and Irfan Kahveci.
Despite not very successful results this season CSKA is preparing to make several deals in the winter transfer window. In particular, CSKA may consider selling Konstantin Kuchaev in the upcoming transfer window. According to the reported information, the club is ready to let the 25-year-old midfielder go in the winter in order not to lose him for free at the end of his contract in June. Although CSKA are offering an extension to the agreement, the player, who rarely takes to the pitch, has yet to make his mind up. Several clubs in the Russian Premier League have shown interest in the player and intend to sign him.
CSKA defender Willyan Rocha may be acquired by the Turkish Championship. Information from Karadeniz indicates that the 28-year-old Brazilian player has attracted the attention of Trabzonspor. The management of Trabzonspor intends to strengthen the defense and sees Rocha as a potential strengthening of the team. For the current season, Rocha took part in twenty-two matches, making one effective pass.
Interestingly, Rocha’s agent assessed the likelihood of a possible transfer to Turkish Trabzonspor, noting that anything can happen in winter. According to the agent, Willian feels good in the capital club, and his departure can only be dictated by the right offer from the new club. Willyan Rocha’s representative noted that he has no offers for Willyan Rocha on his hands yet.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that CSKA may acquire forward from Guadalajara Alexis Vege, who is being shown interest by several Russian clubs such as Zenit, Dynamo and Spartak, according to ESPN TV channel. In addition, Al-Ittifaq and some Brazilian soccer teams are showing interest in him. A representative of the executive director of the Mexican club confirmed that several Russian clubs are interested in Alexis Vega. However, he did not specify the names of these clubs. Recall that the contract of the 26-year-old striker expires in the summer of 2024, and in the current season he played ten matches, noting one goal in the championship of Mexico.
There’s no need to wait for Sutormin, Bruno Mendez is already waiting
CSKA decided to abandon the possibility of signing Alexey Sutormin from Zenit. According to Metaratings, the interest in the midfielder is no longer relevant for the Moscow club. CSKA previously tried to acquire Sutormin in the summer, but negotiations with the St. Petersburg club ended unsuccessfully. It is known that Dynamo and Rostov are also interested in acquiring the player. For the player the decisive factor will be the amount of game practice. In the current season, the midfielder took part in seven RPL matches, noting two goal assists.
According to RT journalist Karen Sarkisyan, Uruguayan defender Bruno Mendez will move to CSKA as a free agent after his contract with Corinthians expires in December this year. His contract with CSKA will run until the summer of 2027. Bruno played for Timau since 2019, playing one hundred and fourteen matches and noting one goal. He also played six matches for the Uruguay national team.
According to the publication “Championship”, midfielder Nikita Ermakov, a pupil of CSKA, can move on loan to “Paris NN” until the end of the current season. Yermakov played forty-one matches for the CSKA team, scored three goals and made two assists.
Hunting Bardakcı and Kahveci
Three Russian clubs, namely Zenit, CSKA and Lokomotiv, are interested in Galatasaray defender Abdülkerim Bardakcı, according to Sabah. It is noted that all three clubs are closely following Bardakcı’s performances since the beginning of the season. Abdülkerim was acquired by Galatasaray from Konyaspor for almost three million euros in the summer of 2022 and has played twenty-five games this season, noting one goal.
Recently it became known that Atletico Mineiro extended the contract with CSKA defender Bruno Fuchs. The new agreement will run through December 2024 and includes an automatic buyout option under certain conditions. The 24-year-old defender has played twenty-three games this season for the Brazilian club in various tournaments.
The information that has emerged indicates CSKA’s interest in the midfielder from the Italian third league. According to Triveneto Goal, Omar Correia has shown a very high level of play this season, which has attracted the attention of various clubs. CSKA offered a sum of 3.2 million euros for the player from Triestina.
“Ferencvaros” and “Zurich” are ready to offer two and a half million euros. Despite this, the Triestina management is against the sale of the 23-year-old player in the winter transfer window. Omar Correia, brought up in “Gavras” and a former player of the reserve team of “PSG”, will keep his place at the club, at least until the summer.
Interestingly, CSKA are showing interest in a winger from the Turkish national team. Yeni Safak report says that Irfan Kahveci from Fenerbahce has attracted the attention of the Moscow team. CSKA is ready to pay ten million euros for this player. Spanish clubs have also shown interest in this player. In the current season of the Turkish championship, Kahveci played twelve matches, where he scored five goals and gave three effective passes.
By the way, Fiorentina are actively looking for a new right-back for their squad. This is due to Dodo’s injury and the possible departure of Niccolo Pierozzi. Fiorentina, citing Corriere dello Sport, reports that the club from Florence is interested in acquiring Milan Gajic from CSKA.
