According to Legalbet, Georgiy Dzhikiya's agent, Malik Arutyunov, stated that the player is ready to consider options from Russia because of a difficult financial situation and salary delays at Antalyaspor. The salary delay has reportedly been ongoing since November and is the reason Dzhikiya is considering options with RPL clubs. Antalyaspor is not opposed to selling Dzhikiya if an offer is made; his contract expires in 2027 and includes a buyout clause.

Vladimir Kuzmichyov stated that Georgi Dzhikiya, the 31-year-old Russian defender, would at least consider a proposal if a Russian club with serious ambitions showed interest. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m.
