Maxim Glushenkov's father, Alexander Glushenkov, mentioned that his son might consider leaving Zenit if he continues to be substituted at halftime during matches. This was in response to a recent substitution by Sergey Semak during a match against Rubin. Although Maxim enjoys playing for the national team, he is not currently considering a move. However, his father believes that if the situation persists, Maxim might rethink his position.

There are rumors of a conflict between Maxim Glushenkov and the head coach of Zenit, Sergey Semak, leading to talks in the media about Glushenkov possibly leaving the club. However, Alexander Medvedev, the chairman of the board of directors of Zenit, called these rumors 'provocative lies.'

Maxim Glushenkov expressed dissatisfaction with his current situation at Zenit, complaining about receiving the ball only three times in a recent match. This public statement has led to speculation that he wants to leave the club. Former footballer Maxim Demenko suggested that Glushenkov's agents might have already started negotiations, although no specific clubs have been mentioned. Zenit is expected to fine Glushenkov for his public comments, despite the trust placed in him by coach Semak.
