General Director of Akron, Konstantin Klyushev, commented on the potential contract extension with 36-year-old forward Artyom Dzyuba. The player's current contract with the Tolyatti club is valid until the summer of 2026. Klyushev mentioned that the extension depends more on Dzyuba's desire to continue playing in the Russian Premier League (RPL) or not. Dzyuba has stated that this season might be his last in the RPL. His physical and mental condition is reportedly excellent, and he is capable of contributing for several more years.

There is interest from other teams in signing Artem Dzyuba, but Akron is the priority for now. The details of interested clubs are not specified. Additionally, Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at 1.80 million euros.
