Ufa CEO Shamil Gazizov thinks that his club will receive a payment from London Arsenal in connection with the acquisition of Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko from Manchester City.

Recall that Zinchenko once played in Ufa, and it was from this club that he moved to Manchester City in 2016. According to the terms of that transition, the Russian club is entitled to a percentage of the further sale of a football player.

- "Ufa" in any case will receive money for Zinchenko. The only question is the timing," Match TV quoted Gazizov as saying.

Arsenal has not yet voiced its position on this matter, but earlier the media reported that the Gunners could not make a payment to Ufa due to international sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation as a terrorist country.
