Al-Ahli is prepared to offer Krasnodar a minimum of €25 million for 25-year-old Armenian attacking midfielder Eduard Spertsyan. The two clubs have not yet started negotiations, and as a result, Spertsyan has not made a final decision regarding his future or agreed to join the Saudi club. Previously, media rumors suggested that Spertsyan had already consented to the transfer and that Al-Ahli was ready to pay him a salary of €10 million per year. Spertsyan, who is under contract at Krasnodar until 2029, scored 13 goals and provided 17 assists in 30 league games in the 2025/2026 season. Other clubs, including Olympique Marseille and Southampton, have also been linked with the player, who has 40 caps for Armenia.
