Smorodskaya – about Dzyuba: “It is already clear that his contract will not be renewed”

Artyom Dzyuba’s form does not allow him to count on a place in Lokomotiv’s starting lineup, and in the off-season the footballer will have to leave the club, says ex-president of the “railroad workers” Olga Smorodskaya.

“In contrast to last season, Dzyuba performs poorly. It is now clear that his contract will not be renewed. Dzyuba became an anchor for Lokomotiv, – quotes Smorodskaya “RB Sport”.

Let us remind you that the forward stopped entering the field from the first minutes a long time ago. The team's head coach Mikhail Galaktionov also rarely sends him out as a substitute. Information appeared in the press that this is due to a clause in the player’s contract, the fulfillment of which will allow him to automatically extend the agreement.
