Zenit Saint Petersburg has made an offer for Mirlind Daku, a forward from Rubin Kazan, reportedly offering €4.5 million for his transfer. Alexander Medvedev, the chairman of Zenit, commented that the information is close to the truth and advised to wait for official announcements. Additionally, it is reported that Zenit will spend a total of €10 million on Daku, including signing bonuses and agent fees.

The sporting director of Lokomotiv Moscow, Dmitry Ulyanov, and the general director, Vladimir Leonchenko, were asked if they could afford the transfer of Rubin Kazan's striker Mirlind Daku for €10 million. Leonchenko immediately dismissed the possibility of acquiring a player for that amount.

Mirlind Daku's father, Fehmi Daku, stated that his son wants to make a new step in his career and move to a stronger club. Offers will be considered in the summer transfer window. Mirlind may move to Europe, but could also stay in Russia, as he has been well received in Kazan. The decision depends on the agreement with Rubin Kazan.

Lokomotiv Moscow showed real interest in acquiring Daku and were ready to negotiate. However, they do not have the financial capability to meet the demands. The deal was supposed to be around €10 million, but Rubin was not satisfied with offers involving player swaps or additional payments. There is also uncertainty about Daku's position on the move, and whether Lokomotiv could offer him more than Rubin, aside from the allure of Moscow.

The head coach of Rubin Kazan, Rashid Rakhimov, discussed the potential departure of Albanian national team forward Mirlind Daku from the Kazan club. Rakhimov recognized Daku's talent and admitted the challenges involved in retaining such a player. He mentioned that they have an agreement for Daku to continue playing for Rubin until the summer, but noted that the situation could change afterwards. Daku's current contract with Rubin extends until the summer of 2026, and according to Transfermarkt, the 27-year-old player's market value stands at €7 million.

Lokomotiv Moscow made another attempt to sign forward Mirlind Daku from Rubin Kazan. However, Rubin requested more than €10 million for the player, leading Lokomotiv to withdraw from negotiations. Daku has played 19 matches this season for Rubin, scoring nine goals and providing five assists. His contract with Rubin is valid until the summer of 2026. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is €7 million.

Mirlind Daku has decided to stay at Rubin Kazan despite interest from Lokomotiv Moscow. His father, Fehmi Daku, stated that the time for making a transfer decision has passed and Mirlind will remain in Kazan. The player has a contract for another one and a half years and is considering whether to extend it.

Former Rubin Kazan captain, Andrey Fedorov, expressed his views on Mirlind Daku's career prospects, indicating that Daku might be allowed to leave if a good offer arises, potentially joining a top club in the Russian Premier League (RPL). Fedorov cited examples such as Guararapa at CSKA and Sobolev at Zenit. He also noted that Lokomotiv lacks a prominent striker and suggested that Spartak might release Nicholson, implying that Daku could serve as a stronger replacement. According to Fedorov, Rubin's decision will hinge on the price, as reported by Metaratings.

Rubin Kazan's sporting director, Konstantin Dzyuba, confirmed interest in forward Mirlind Daku during the summer transfer window, but he stayed with the club. Dzyuba hopes Daku will remain with Rubin Kazan through the winter, despite potential interest from other clubs. Daku's contract runs until summer 2026, and his market value is around €6 million.

Mirlind Daku, a forward for Rubin Kazan, has been evaluated as a player capable of establishing himself in the Italian league (Serie A). According to Rustam Ashurmatov, Daku is a quality player who could play in Serie A. Additionally, Rakhimov mentioned that clubs from Serie A have shown interest in Daku. However, Daku's future plans are currently unknown.

Mirling Daku has several requests for transfer.
