Sharjah FC also likes Kevin Lenini, who is a defensive midfielder.

Alexander Tolstikov, the former chief scout and technical director of Krasnodar, stated that the club has an unwritten rule not to sell players after July 1st. He also mentioned that if a very good offer comes in for Kevin Lenini after the World Cup 2026, it could be accepted.

Kevin Lenini, a 29-year-old Cape Verdean and Portuguese midfielder, is under contract until 2027 and valued at 4.5 million euros. He is attracting interest from clubs looking to strengthen their midfield balance. His physical power, recovery ability, and international experience, which includes 30 caps and 2 goals for Cape Verde, could help him advance his career after the World Cup. He joined his current club, FC Krasnodar, in September 2022.
