"Locomotive" claims the playmaker of Kiev "Dynamo"

Leaders of the Moscow "Locomotive" seriously expects to strengthen the middle of the field in anticipation of the start of the new season.The new coach, "railroad" Leonid Kuchuk hopes to get a part of a strong central midfield, which should be a link with the forward command.
Among the major candidates for the vacant position is considered 28-year-old Kiev "Dynamo" Nico Kranchar.

- Kranchar has long been included in the scope of interest of "Locomotive" and it could be in another team during former coach Slaven Bilic - said a source in the camp of the capital club. - At the moment the most appropriate option for the team would be annual rent of a football player with a possible option to buy a transfer player.

Sam Kranchar not against the move, since expects to receive regular match practice and be in the main cage against Croatia at the upcoming world championships next summer in Brazil.

- Who is the main desire Nico - to play football again and show the football, which he is capable, - said the agent linebacker Emil Zgura. - Kranchar really wants to act as part of their national team at the FIFA World Cup and this should be kept in sight of the coach Igor Stimac. I note only that the player has a continuing interest on the part of the strong and ambitious clubs. However, in any case, everything will depend on the ability to negotiate with the leaders of the Kiev club potential buyers. At the moment, Nico is a player of "Dynamo" and seriously preparing for the new season.

Besides the "Locomotive" shows interest in the Croat and a number of other clubs. It is worth noting Turkish "Besiktas", which was headed by the ex-coach of "Loco" and the Croatian team Slaven Bilic, perfectly familiar with the game as a player, and that is seriously expected to invite Nico to Moscow last winter. Also of interest to the player showing clubs in Greece and Austria - "Olympiakos" and "Rapid".

The desire to "railroad" to strengthen the midfield is understandable, especially after the team left one of the leaders of recent years, Denis Glushakov, who signed a contract with the Moscow "Spartak". Ex-coach "Loco" and the Russian team Byshovets believes that the red and green is quite solid structure to fight for the top places, but the acquisition of a good player at the center of the field would not be amiss.

- Of course, in recent times the team's results are not encouraging, and the last season and caused all the fans all negative emotions - said Byshovets. - Based on the results shown, the team needs to be changed. Although the composition has a very solid, and a place in European competition it should occupy. After the departure of Dennis Glushakova in the center of the field have a free position to be filled. It is difficult to say whether it will be able to make internal reserves, but if you can get a solid player under the main part of which is in their potential can become the leader of the team, a football team would not have prevented.

Recall that Kranchar moved to Kiev from the English club "Tottenham" in June last year. For the rights to one of the best players of Croatia bosses Kiev paid € 7 million, with an annual salary of a football player was € 2 million, but despite great advances, Nico has not been able to show their best qualities. In total, white and blue in various tournaments held Kranchar 21 games, which was marked by four goals and two assists.

After joining the coaching bridge Oleg Blokhin position in the Croatian team noticeably weakened, and he stopped getting match practice. Moreover, this summer, the Dynamo have signed a contract with a Moroccan Younes Belhanda, who just plays the position Kranchara and is regarded as one of the key players on the team for the coming years.

The current contract with the people of Kiev Kranchara expires in just three years. In this case, the transfer fee footballer, who spent 75 games in the national team shirt Croatia is estimated at € 6 million
