Andrei Talalaev, the head coach of Baltika, commented on the potential transfer of Mikhail Ryadno, a 20-year-old CSKA defender who is on trial with the Kaliningrad team during their winter training camp. Speaking on 'Match TV', Talalaev stated that while Ryadno, a Russian youth international and CSKA academy graduate, currently lacks significant match practice, Baltika views him as a competitive player. Talalaev also said that questions about the finalization of the deal should be directed to the club's sporting director and that he believes the parties will most likely reach a consensus. Ryadno was on loan at 'Rodina' for the previous season. The defender's contract with CSKA Moscow is set to expire in June 2026, and he has not made any appearances in the Premier Liga this season. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €700k. Serbian club Partizan has also been linked with the player.
