Three-time Russian champion with Spartak, Viktor Bulatov, commented on Alexander Sobolev's departure from the Moscow club to Zenit.
“Sobolev is a significant figure for the RPL. This is a loss for Spartak,” Bulatov was quoted by RB Sport.
The 27-year-old Sobolev transferred to Zenit from Spartak in August 2024, signing a contract with the blue-white-blue team on a “3+1” scheme. The player has participated in 13 matches for the St. Petersburg team across all tournaments, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
