The head coach of Zenit, Sergey Semak, addressed the rumors regarding the potential loan of 26-year-old Russian forward Maxim Glushenkov to the Serbian club Crvena Zvezda. Semak noted that it was the first he had heard of such a transfer, adding that Glushenkov had trained well during the week and was deserving of playing time. This information was shared by Dmitry Zimin, a correspondent for 'Championship'. Glushenkov recently participated in the 6th round of the Russian Premier League against Dynamo Makhachkala, where he entered the game as a substitute in the 68th minute, providing an assist and scoring a goal in the 4-0 victory. His contract with the St. Petersburg club is due to expire in 2028, with his market value estimated at €14 million by Transfermarkt.
