Italian Fiorentina may get rid of Russian striker Alexander Kokorin this winter. This is reported by Fiorentina.it with reference to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Violets want to send the 30-year-old striker on loan and find a replacement for Kokorin. This decision was made against the background of the constant injuries of the Russian. Initially, the management of the Italian club hoped that Kokorin would be able to break into the main team.
On October 4, ex-player “Violets” Massimo Orlando laughed at the game of the Russian for the Italians. “Every time I see him on the field, he reminds me of anyone but a football player,” said Orlando.
This season, Kokorin took part in three matches in Serie A and did not score with effective actions. In all meetings, the forward came on as a substitute, the earliest was his appearance on the field in the 77th minute of the game with Napoli (1: 2). Kokorin’s salary in the Italian team is 1.8 million euros per year.
Kokorin is known for his performances for Russian clubs: Dynamo, Zenit, Sochi and Spartak. From 2011 to 2017, he was involved in games for the Russian national team.
