Agent of CSKA midfielder Milos Krasic
The story of how Milos Krasic searched for a team in Europe is as dramatic as the reunion of Andrei Arshavin with "Arsenal". The agent of CSKA Serbian midfielder Dejan Joksimovic gave an interview to Sports.ru in which he talked about the obstacles to the transfer, compared Krasic's and Bystrov's salaries, and explained why Yuri Zhirkov has not yet played for "Chelsea".
Introduction
The agent of CSKA Serbian midfielder Milos Krasic, Dejan Joksimovic, has been working with him for a long time. He brought him from "Vojvodina" to CSKA six years ago. Joksimovic also mentioned that another agent, Marco Naletilic, works for Krasic and him only regarding "Juventus" and "Fiorentina". Joksimovic also mentioned his partner Vlado Borozan, who has the authority to communicate with "Inter".
Krasic's transfer negotiations
Joksimovic revealed that Krasic reached an agreement with "Juventus" a month and a half ago. However, the negotiations with CSKA regarding the transfer fee are still ongoing. There were offers from other clubs like "Valencia", "Roma", "Fiorentina", and "Atletico", but they were willing to offer only €10-12 million, which CSKA deemed insufficient. Joksimovic believes that Krasic will most likely play for "Juventus" this fall.
Comparison of salaries
Joksimovic mentioned that Krasic earns two and a half times less than Bystrov, who plays in the same position. He praised Bystrov's skills but stated that top clubs like "Real Madrid" and "Juventus" were not interested in him. He also revealed that they had a crazy offer from "Fenerbahce" with a much higher salary than what "Juventus" is offering. However, Krasic preferred to go to a lower-paying league in a different country.
Krasic's unhappiness at CSKA
Joksimovic believes that Krasic's unhappiness at CSKA is affecting his performance this season. He mentioned that Krasic wanted to leave Russia before the World Cup, as he believed it would improve his performance. However, the uncertainty surrounding his future affected his mindset. Joksimovic thinks that if Krasic had clarity and even signed a contract to join a new team in late August, he would have performed much better for CSKA.
CSKA's stance on Krasic's transfer
Joksimovic understands CSKA's position in wanting to get the best deal for Krasic. He believes that CSKA should aim to receive as much money as possible for a talented player like Krasic. He compared the transfer fee to Aleksandr Kolarov's move to "Manchester City" for €19 million and suggested that Krasic is an even stronger player. He mentioned that "Juventus" offered €12 million, but CSKA wants more. Joksimovic believes that Krasic is definitely worth €15 million.
Krasic's disappointment after the World Cup
Joksimovic revealed that all Serbian players were disappointed after their performance in the World Cup. They were hopeful of advancing further in the tournament, but their plans were cut short. Joksimovic mentioned that there was a shift in the team's playing style, focusing more on defense, which he believes was a mistake.
Interest from Real Madrid
Joksimovic confirmed that "Real Madrid" was interested in Krasic in the past, but the negotiations did not go far due to their unwillingness to pay more than €10 million. He also expressed his belief that it would have been a mistake for Krasic to join "Real Madrid" during that time of crisis for the club.
Russian players' preference for staying in Russia
Joksimovic highlighted the comfort that Russian players feel playing in their home country, where they are paid huge salaries. He compared this situation to the current trend of Brazilian players returning to Brazil due to the economic boom there. He believes that players from former Yugoslavia who come to Russia work harder and progress because they know they cannot rely on returning to their home clubs.
Krasic's future at CSKA
Joksimovic admitted that Krasic will not be in the best mood if the transfer to "Juventus" does not happen. However, he emphasized that Krasic still has two years left on his contract and should continue to give his best for CSKA until he leaves.
