20-year-old Armenian midfielder Artur Serobyan, who plays for Ararat-Armenia, has attracted the attention of several foreign clubs. Among them are the Slovenian club Celje and the Russian club Krylia Sovetov.
Negotiations between Celje and Ararat-Armenia regarding Serobyan's transfer have stalled due to financial disagreements. As a result, the deal is unlikely to happen, and Serobyan will probably join the Samara club.
According to preliminary data, Krylia Sovetov plans to take the player on loan with an option to buy the transfer later. The transfer fee is expected to be between 350,000 and 400,000 euros. However, the final decision on this matter will be made by the head coach of the Samara club, Igor Osinkin, who is currently carefully studying all the candidates.
This was reported by insider Karpov and confirmed by Armenian journalist Suren Meliksetyan.
Despite active rumors about the transfer, Ararat-Armenia's general director Poghos Galstyan stated that the club has not received an official offer from Krylia Sovetov. Galstyan commented on the situation as follows:
"As far as I know, Artur Serobyan is currently in Yerevan. I am not aware, I don't know about this. Our club has not received an official letter from Krylia Sovetov. There are talks from many clubs, but when we officially receive it, then everyone will know about it," said Poghos Galstyan in an interview with Metaratings.
In the past season, Artur Serobyan scored 9 goals in 28 matches in all tournaments. Serobyan has 16 matches for the Armenian national team.
