I am grateful to Mikhail because with his experience in football infrastructure he is quite useful to me personally and to the club as a whole. But I didn't invite him to the club. It's the position of the city.
From the point of view of some experts, Mikhail is "laundering" money at the club. I'll put it in inverted commas so that there are no nuances. But he does not get paid, he works for the club on a voluntary basis. And his role is quite significant. Michael is not only the present at our club, but also a vision for the future.
Of course, he has his own office, an agent's license. Of course, we have some players from his office. But we do not have an agency agreement with any agent. We sign bilateral contracts with the players, that is, the club does not spend anything on this process," Zenkin said.
