"Dzyuba speaks out about his non-transfer to "Fakele": "No suitable terms were offered"
Spark's General Director Speaks on Dzyuba Transfer
Got the lowdown from General Director Roman Ashabadez of the mysterious entity we call Spark. He chatted it up with Match TV about Artem Dzyuba's hints that Ashabadez blocked his transfer. But according to Ashabadez, the journalist's question was the culprit, not any real beef. He claimed there was no smoke without fire—he saw no valid reasons for inviting the star forward.
Here's the kicker: Ashabadez stated that it wasn't then-head coach Pitybratov who initiated the idea of signing Dzyuba, and there were no discussions about it.
But wait, there's more! Ashabadez admitted that if he were in Dzyuba's shoes, he'd stay clear of Spark too, given the lousy terms—salary issues, airport closure, artificial field, you name it. With Voronezh's team at the bottom of the table, it seems Dzyuba made the right call. He's scored 10 goals in 21 games this season and etched his name as the all-time top scorer in Russian football history.
