The former Spanish national team coach doesn’t want to lose him, and Soči doesn’t want to sell him: Vanja Drkušić will only resolve his club status after the end of Euro 2024

Just like a year ago and last summer, Vanja Drkušić was the target of a significant number of clubs from very interesting countries. Interest came from both Germany and Italy, with particular enthusiasm from Belgrade’s Crvena Zvezda, which was seeking reinforcements for the Champions League. However, despite all that, Vanja Drkušić stayed in Sochi. The club from the Olympic city rejected most suitors, primarily with a high transfer fee.
However, things took a turn in a direction that the Sochi leadership did not expect. The blue and whites are currently at the bottom of the Russian Premier League standings, and their top-tier status is seriously threatened. That’s why the new coach, Robert Moreno, who took over Sochi on December 15 last year, made it clear: he does not want to lose his captain at any cost. The club’s management agreed with the former Spanish national team coach, who also led Monaco and Granada. Vanja Drkušić is simply not for sale in this transfer window.
Sochi has made it clear to all suitors that they will have to wait until summer to say goodbye to the former member of Ljubljana’s Bravo. Vanja Drkušić will finish the 2023/24 season at the Fišt Stadium, and his club status will be resolved only after the end of Euro 2024. It is more or less agreed that he will leave then, regardless of whether Sochi stays among the elite or drops to the second division.
