According to Murad Musayev, 31-year-old Uruguayan Right-Back Giovanni Gonzalez expressed a desire to leave Krasnodar during the winter. Musayev also said that Gonzalez has one year remaining on his contract and that while everything suits the player at Krasnodar, his family is concerned about educational opportunities for his eldest son, due to difficulties with Spanish-language education in the city. The Uruguayan international has been capped 17 times for his country. In the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he made 24 appearances and provided 3 assists. His market value is listed by Transfermarkt at €2.00m.
