We let Yura Movsisyan go for several reasons – Russian football club boss

Yura Movsisyan wished to move to FC Spartak Moscow and we did not make serious attempts to keep him, said Russia’s FC Krasnodar Kuban President Sergey Galitsky.

“We let [Armenian national football team and Spartak forward, former Krasnodar player] Movsisyan go for several reasons. First and foremost, we do not need an imbalance in the players’ salaries. Second, it is not right to keep a player who has a chance to play in a more prominent club.

Spartak Moscow is a high-class brand. Yura wished to move to Spartak and we did not make serious attempts to keep him. We were happy for and proud of him. He, together with [FC Krasnodar’s Brazilian midfielder/striker] Wánderson, became the top scorer of the Russian [Premier] League. We let Movsisyan go only when we found his replacement,” Galitsky said in a Russian television program, Sport Express reports.
