According to a source from the Cheka-OGPU, a significant reduction in the budget of the CSKA football club is coming. Including, less funds will be allocated for transfers, in other words, for the purchase of players.

Now it’s generally questionable: will the army team buy Turkish midfielder Yazici, who has proven himself in the first matches as part of the Moscow team, from the French “Lille”. The amount for the Turk is not small – 11 million euros.

An acute financial deficit arose for obvious reasons: UEFA recently extended the suspension of Russian clubs and the national team from participation in prestigious European tournaments: the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. And there they paid millions of euros for participation alone, not to mention a relatively successful performance. Thus, the same army men lost a serious increase to the budget. The CSKA club office reports that the aforementioned Yazici will be bought only if Lille makes concessions to the Muscovites. Namely: they will split the payment of 11 million into several tranches…

As previously reported by FC CSKA President Evgeny Giner, the club’s annual budget was more than 70 million euros for the season. Almost half of the funds from this amount (about 50 percent) were provided on a voluntary basis by Roman Abramovich. Whether he will now be as generous as in previous years is unknown. The businessman now has his own problems: he was literally robbed by representatives of the British authorities. They finalized a deal for the sale of London’s Chelsea, the brainchild of a businessman, so that Roman Arkadyevich would not receive… not a penny! Most likely, he will, to put it mildly, have no time for CSKA.

Spartak also reported a possible reduction in the club budget. They say poverty is not a vice. Who cares: Russian clubs, due to UEFA sanctions, may find themselves with nothing, almost beyond the poverty line. But for some reason I don’t feel sorry for them: just as they didn’t know how to play, they still don’t know how, by and large. Turn your attention to the development of children’s and youth football, gentlemen.
