Metallurg has not yet released an official statement regarding Razin’s future in the team.
The club made a decision, there was a conflict that has been going on for a long time. Then they will somehow negotiate payments, there is a large amount. Apparently, they will negotiate, or he will be released, or will sit in the Chelyabinsk region. This is the first case when Magnitka does this with suspension, Vorobyov said.
