Valery Nepomnyashchy stated that he does not know why it did not work out with CSKA.

CSKA Moscow has started communication with midfielder Daler Kuzyaev about a potential move, a source familiar with the situation informed 'Championat'. The Moscow club's interest in a central midfielder was renewed following the collapse of the Barinov transfer, which prompted negotiations with Kuzyaev. The player, who became a free agent last summer after leaving his most recent club Le Havre, is reportedly ready to join CSKA.
