Vladimir Kuzmichyov, the agent for Nikita Chernov, has explained the player's transfer from Spartak to Krylya Sovetov. Speaking on a new episode of the Championat podcast 'Premier-Liga of Injustice', Kuzmichyov stated that it was important for Chernov to join a team where he would be counted on as a player. The agent added that Chernov wanted to be able to restore his form, contribute to the team, and demonstrate his value after being underestimated by Spartak's coaching staff.

Russian defender Nikita Chernov, 29, has left Spartak and joined Krylya Sovetov on loan. There was an issue mentioned where the player did not have any one-on-one conversations with the coach Dejan Stankovic during his time at Spartak, which might have influenced his decision to leave. His contract with Spartak is set to expire in June 2026, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.50m.
