As previously reported, Hajduk made an offer to Sunderland regarding Nazarii Rusin. According to TaToTake, today the Ukrainian forward is arriving in Zagreb for a medical examination and signing the necessary documents. The terms of the deal are a loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
Nazarii RusinGiven the restrictions of English clubs on international loan slots, Rusin had to respond to Sunderland's management last week. Initially, the 26-year-old player rejected Aberdeen, then — Cherkasy LNZ.
Here’s what journalist Serhii Tyshchenko thinks about Rusin’s choice:
«Gattuso at Hajduk has only one forward — Marko Livaia. He needs a backup — cheap, preferably on loan. Rusin fits perfectly. Gattuso doesn’t need Nazarii on the wings. There are young talents Stipe Biuk and Bruno Durdov.
Does Hajduk need Rusin? Categorically no. There is a strong fanbase here. There will be immense pressure, which Rusin has never been able to handle. In his career, Nazarii has only played when he had the complete trust of the coach, never winning competition. Especially against someone like Livaia. The symbol of the current Hajduk, the main star of the club, the idol of the fans.
His experience at Legia should have taught Nazarii something. If something goes wrong, no one will support him», — quotes Tyshchenko TaToTake.
