Ukrainian midfielder of the Italian Atalanta Ruslan Malinovsky told why he did not leave the team last summer.
“We didn’t agree, and there’s no point in discussing it now. A lot is written on the Internet, but 80% is not true. For example, about the relationship with the coach or how much Atalanta wants. And about the contract - it is until the summer of 2024.
There has never been a conflict with Gasperini. I even talked to him before the end of the transfer window, he said that he would be happy if I had a better option. I have a contract with the club, the clubs must first agree. If this is not there, then there is nothing to talk about," Malinovsky said in a comment to the Youtube channel "Kyivsky Torte".
