Spartak Moscow comment on possible departure of Chelsea old boy Victor Moses

Published: July 31, 2022

Spartak Moscow press chief Dmitry Zelenov has commented on speculation suggesting that former Chelsea winger Victor Moses could be departing the Russian Cup winners in the summer transfer window.

It was previously claimed that the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations winner was on his way out of Spartak Moscow because his wife wanted him to leave Russia.

The report added that Moses' services have been offered to Premier League clubs, Torino and Inter Milan.

He can take advantage of a new Fifa rule allowing Russian-based foreign footballers to suspend their contracts for one season.

The 31-year-old has had fine start to the 2022-2023 season, scoring two goals in three league matches, helping Spartak Moscow pick up seven points from the opening games.

"You are operating on rumours. We saw what shape Moses got, how great he plays. For today's match, we have released a program with an interview with Guillermo Abascal: there he talked a lot about Moses," Zelenov said in an interview with Championat.

"We now want to talk about Moses in a football way. Moses is one of the best, if not the best, in his position in the RPL.

"We are glad that there is such a player in Spartak. How long will he play for Spartak? I have talked about this many times and I will say it again: the current situation, the situation does not give us a guarantee for any player, except for the Russians."

Moses arrived at Spartak Moscow in 2020, first on loan before the deal was made permanent the following season, and has two years left on his contract with the Muscovites.

The Crystal Palace academy product enjoyed loan spells at Liverpool, Stoke City, West Ham, Fenerbahce and Inter Milan during his time at Stamford Bridge.
