Raul Riancho Considers Zakharyan's Return to RPL a Mistake

Former head coach of Moscow's "Spartak" club, Raul Riancho, shared his views on Russian midfielder Arsen Zakharyan’s performance at Spanish club "Real Sociedad." According to the expert, there are currently no discussions about the footballer returning to Russia.

In a statement to "RB Sport," Riancho commented: "If he returns to the RPL, he will never find his footing in Europe again. Therefore, it is unlikely Arsen would take such a step," he said.

This season, Zakharyan has appeared in 13 matches for San Sebastian's "Real Sociedad," scoring one goal. Zakharyan’s contract with "Real Sociedad" is valid until the end of June 2029.

The footballer’s market value is estimated at €7.5 million. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
