Aleksei Miranchuk stated that in recent years he had no options to return to the Russian Premier League (RPL). He also mentioned that nobody called him or offered him a return to the RPL, and that a transfer fee would be required for him. Miranchuk added that if he had shown interest in considering options, perhaps an opportunity would have arisen.

According to Yuri Zaitsev, there is interest in Aleksei Miranchuk in Russia. Zaitsev added that Miranchuk has a good contract in the USA, with no possibility or desire to terminate it, and noted that many leaders in Russia would like to see Miranchuk join them.
