 | Spartacus (M)`s first summer transfer caused a scandal5-06-2018 |
Russian Grand Spartak (Moscow) attracted defender Samuel Jigo from the Belgian Ghent. The 25-year-old footballer has already signed a red-and-white deal. The contract is for 4 years. Last season he played 40 games in the league of Belgium, receiving 5 yellow cards and one red card. The two clubs did not reveal the transfer amount, but according to the media in Russia, Spartacus will pay Gent 8 million euros.
`We wanted to leave Jigo for Russia to be connected to the World Cup 2018, but he goes to play in Spartacus, and Sam, thank you for everything, ` Gent wrote on Twitter. The transfer of the Frenchman has annoyed another Russian club - Krasnodar. `The Bulls` were close to signing with Jigo, and they were extremely disappointed with the way Spartak took them away. `We wanted to buy two defenders and we considered the attraction of Jigo for sure, we followed him for more than a year, and in winter we contacted him, he was aware of our interest, but then he did not want to continue his career in Russia. I was personally in Belgium to talk to him and his agent, everything was settled, `explained Krasnodar sports director Vladimir Hashig. `I found out about Spartak`s interest, and we warned colleagues that it was incorrect for them to intervene when we were in the final phase of the talks, but they ignored us, and this is not the case for the first time between our clubs. We are disturbed by Spartak`s disrespect, but the world does not end with a defender, and we have made the appropriate conclusions, `Haseg added to Sport-Express.
