Pogrebnyak's Claim About Batrakov: He Could Spend Only One Season at Galatasaray

Former Russian footballer Pavel Pogrebnyak argued that Batrakov's transfer to Galatasaray was the right decision. Pogrebnyak said the environment the young player has found at the yellow-red club has played an important role in his development.

Pogrebnyak pointed to Batrakov's energy on the pitch and the way his teammates have welcomed him. He stressed the importance of the attitude Victor Osimhen has shown toward the young player.

Pogrebnyak said he found the reports about PSG's interest in Batrakov during his time at Lokomotiv a bit funny. In his view, it is entirely possible for a big club to transfer the player today.

The former footballer claimed that Galatasaray's management is considering a new agreement to raise the player's release fee. He added that interest from European clubs may grow. According to Pogrebnyak, this season could be Batrakov's only season at the Turkish club.
