Big gamble during the period of transfers: What will happen to Fayzullaev's fate?

One of Russia's leading clubs, CSKA, has seen a major change. The Serbian specialist Marko Nikolic, who led the team to trophies, officially announced his departure. This decision is connected with his move to Greece. To replace him, the Moscow club quickly brought in Swiss coach Fabio Celestini. This marked the start of significant changes in the army club.

New schemes and new challenges

Fabio Celestini’s tactical approach means new challenges for many CSKA players, especially the young Uzbek star Abbosbek Fayzullaev. The coach’s main formations are 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, which require a high level of intelligence and technique from attacking players. The new coach is determined to radically update the squad, as last season some attackers, including Sekou Koita and Tamerlan Musaev, did not perform as expected.

CSKA management has already started looking for new attackers. For example, they are close to bringing in Lechi Sadulaev, the best dribbler in the Russian league, from Akhmat. Negotiations have also begun with 20-year-old talent Mateus Alves from Brazil’s São Paulo club. Some even call him the “new Neymar,” though he has not yet fully revealed his potential.

Two scenarios for Fayzullaev

Abbosbek Fayzullaev’s future at CSKA is now the focus of discussion. He has two paths: either Celestini trusts him and gives him a suitable role in his schemes, or Fayzullaev will have to look for a new club and expand his transfer opportunities.

Analysts say that due to Nikolic’s tactical changes in winter, Fayzullaev’s effectiveness dropped. Other players got more opportunities. But if the new coach finds the best position for him, Abbosbek can shine again.

CSKA’s “Fayzullaev formula” and transfer secrets

CSKA’s strategy is to find hidden talents. That’s how Fayzullaev was recruited. Top European scouts missed him in time. Now the club wants to apply this formula to Mateus Alves as well. If this method works, CSKA can further strengthen their position in the transfer market.

Financial realities and possible exit

With the change of coach and new transfers, the club will need to be more active financially. Miralem Pjanic and Rifat Zhemaletdinov have left; their places are expected to be taken by new talents. If Fayzullaev leaves, the club will have to search for another attacking player.

Rumors about Fayzullaev’s transfer have a real basis. Journalists asked Turkey’s Basaksehir club and other sources about the transfer, but received unclear answers, indicating that negotiations may be ongoing.

Brief facts and figures:
— Abbosbek Fayzullaev joined CSKA from Pakhtakor in August 2023.
— He has played 71 games for the team, scoring 8 goals and providing 22 assists.
— Transfermarkt values him at 8 million euros.
— His contract with CSKA is valid until June 30, 2026.

Fayzullaev’s future depends on his own hard work, the coach’s trust, and the team’s strategy. Whether he stays in Moscow or becomes a new leader elsewhere — the answer will be clear in the coming weeks. Fans are watching the process with great interest. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
