Firstov’s agent Shumi Babaev: “Zabuga and Gafurov went to meet”

The agent of ex-torpedo striker Vladislav Firstov Shumi Babaev in an interview with RB Sport told the details of the exchange between Nizhny Novgorod and Magnitogorsk Metallurg.

Vladislav Firstov went to the Southern Urals, Stepan Starkov went to Nizhny Novgorod.

Babayev noted that Torpedo is a fair club, which is not the first time to meet with the exchange or sale of players to develop their careers.

The issue of Firstov’s exchange arose a long time ago, and a big thank you to the leaders of Torpedo, who saw that the coach does not use a player with such a salary in the right way. Zabuga and Gafurov went to meet and allowed to find this option of exchange. There were several options, but Magnitogorsk solved the issue the fastest. Therefore, he moved there, although there was an option with another team, but the clubs did not agree among themselves, said Shumi Babayev.
