Uruguayan Rodrigo Saravia was also supposed to come to Rostov’s winter training camp. The transfer fell through at the last moment – the player was worried about the fact that Rostov-on-Don is located next to Ukraine. Valery Karpin in an interview with a Sport24 correspondent toldthat such cases happen all the time.
“When an offer comes from Rostov, none of the players say: “Yes, yes, yes, I have dreamed of playing there all my life.” First, negotiations begin – people ask what Rostov is, where it is located. Then they find out that the airport is closed, and the city itself is two hundred kilometers from the border with Ukraine. After that, depending on your luck – either yes or no. You only know about one failed transfer, but there were at least three or four more like that. On June 24, for example, two transfers fell through. You don’t know a lot of things, and thank God,” said Karpin.
After 18 rounds, Rostov is in 10th place in the Russian Premier League table.
