Viktor Leonenko, about Blănuță: “Disastrous transfer”
Viktor Leonenko, a former great striker of Dinamo Kiev, criticized the president of the team from the capital of Ukraine, Igor Surkis, for the transfer of the Romanian striker Vladislav Blănuță. He believes that the transfer of the Romanian was “disastrous”.
“There is no chance that we will win the championship. I think Dinamo will fight with Polissya for the third place.
Dinamo spent two million dollars on Blănuță's transfer, but he never left his mark on the team's game, and there are already rumors that he will leave Kiev. Who is to blame for this disastrous transfer?
This is called amateurism. There is only one explanation. Igor Surkis is to blame for this disastrous transfer. Surkis needs to listen to the serious people around him. I am sure that if he saw Blănuță, he would immediately say that he is not needed”, said Viktor Leonenko, according to sport.ua.
Coming this summer to Dinamo Kiev for the sum of 2 million euros, Blanuță signed a contract valid until 2030. He played ten matches, scoring only one goal. He did not impose himself on the champion of Ukraine, so there are already speculations about a potential transfer.
