Zorya Luhansk striker Nazariy Rusin explained why he will not be able to play in the return match against Slavia Prague in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification, and told when he plans to join English Sunderland, which, in fact, has not yet formalised relations with him
- Nazariy, then immediately about Sunderland. Some media have already reported that you have signed a contract with this British club.
- It's not true. How could I do it, when I have not even passed a medical examination at this club? Therefore, I am a player of Zorya in the future.
- But is the information that Sunderland wants to see you in their ranks true?
- Yes, as my agent Vadim Shabliy reported, there is an agreement that I will legalise business relations with Sunderland for four years with prolongation for another season. I am satisfied with this option.
- And when can it happen?
- On 29 August I have to submit the necessary documents to get an English visa. I hope that soon all the formalities will be completed and we can go to the misty Albion.
- What compensation will Zorya get for your transfer to Sunderland?
- It does not interest me. All financial issues are in the competence of Shablia.
- What information do you have about Sunderland?
- I recently signed up to Sunderland's club Instagram account and I have the opportunity to watch the matches of this team. I like the style in which they play. The main thing now is to get rid of the soreness as soon as possible and be ready for a new challenge in my football career.
