Smolov said that in the summer of 2022 he agreed to negotiate with Galatasaray, talked with the coach and the president of the club. “And exactly at the moment when I found out about it, I got injured. I had damage for three to four weeks, I sent them an MRI and they said they need a striker right now. As a result, this deal did not take place, ”he explained.
On May 31, it became known that 33-year-old Smolov extended his contract with Dynamo until the end of the 2023/2024 season with the possibility of an extension for another year.
