Dzyba designates priority to professional club for advancement
Here's the rewritten article:
Artem Dzyuba, the 36-year-old striker who's been tearing up the pitch for Akron, ain't spillin' the beans on his future just yet. Talkin' to Match TV, he admitted he can't officially announce his next move, but he did hint at a preference for Tolyatti.
When asked if he'd stick with Akron if they manage to stay in the RPL, Dzyuba didn't confirm or deny. But he did say that Akron would be the priority.
Since September, Dzyuba's been killin' it for Akron, playin' 21 matches, scorin' ten goals, and makin' five assists.
RBC Group points out that Dzyuba became the all-time leading scorer in Russian football history in March, surpassing Alexander Kerzhakov's record (233 goals), and is also the top scorer for the Russian national team (31 goals). He's been out of the national team since 2021, but RBC Group suggests he's still got what it takes.
Folks, Akron's makin' a splash in their debut season in the RPL, currently holdin' down ninth place after 27 rounds with 32 points (a nine-point gap from the relegation playoff zone). They've pretty much secured their place in the top division for next season.
Now, let's talk about negotiations. Dzyuba's agent has confirmed active discussions with Akron regarding a renewal, which suggests stability in the short term. Though, as of now, there's no word on any offers from other clubs.
Dzyuba's been keepin' busy, though. Recently, he contributed to Russia's national team setup, assistin' a teammate's goal against Grenada in March 2025. And he's even dabbled in punditry, sharin' his thoughts on managers like Unai Emery ahead of PSG vs. Aston Villa UCL fixtures.
So, as things stand, it looks like Dzyuba's got his sights set on stayin' with Akron, unless negotiations go haywire. But who knows, stranger things have happened. Catch all the latest on this story in our Telegram channel, "RBC Sport."
