igić fuels appetites

The recent World Cup has fueled a transfer of interest in striker “Red Star” Nicola igić. Among the options for continuing the career of a 26-year-old Serb, the strongest Russian clubs were also called. However, the bright debut in the Santander “Racing” made his prospects much more tempting.

The most closely following the success of the two-meter giant, according to Spanish media reports, is today watching “Valencia”. At the headquarters of the “bats,” it seems that they are seriously concerned about finding a replacement for David Villiers in case he joins the ranks of Chelsea.

An influential Spanish sports newspaper Marca reports that the leaders of Racing have already named the amount of compensation for Zhigich, who will push them to say goodbye to the striker. In case of early departure from Santander, it will cost new employers 30 million euros! If so, then the price of Zhigich in the transfer market for less than three months of his performances in Spain jumped five times - after all, in the summer it cost the Santander only 6 million, which now seems ridiculous.

“I do not want to talk about the future. Now I focus solely on performances for Racing, and I will not allow such conversations to distract me from football,” Marca quotes the Serb.

In Example, igić made his debut in the 3rd round in the match against Barcelona. She failed to score. But already in the next game, a lanky Serb twice upset fans of “Gimnastika”, getting a point on the road.

The team scored 11 goals under igice, and he somehow participated in all scoring: he scored five times himself (doubles against Khimnastik and Recreativo plus Celte goal), with the remaining six he either assisted with assists to the partners or earned a penalty . The last time Zhigich scored last Sunday, when the Cantabrian club outplayed Recreativo in their field - 4: 3.

“In several matches before the game with Recreativo I could not distinguish myself, and therefore two goals into the goal of the guests are very important for me psychologically. I hope to continue in the same spirit,” Spanish newspaper As quotes the scorer. “I know that the rivals "I’m not enthusiastic about having to keep the striker two meters tall. They try to stop me by any means, sometimes they pay special attention to it, which is good - then our other players can prove themselves more vividly. The main thing is to take advantage of this."

According to other Spanish media reports, besides Valencia, Juventus and Liverpool show interest in the Serb, who followed Nicola while he was the player of the Red Star. The breeders of the two clubs have already come to Spain to watch Zhigich and are ready to pay Racing for the striker 12 million euros.

The Santander leadership, however, is not happy with this amount. It is possible that the owners of the "Old Signora" will go for larger expenses, given that David Trezeguet has repeatedly made it clear that he wants to leave Turin.
