Stanislav Agkatsev, the Russian goalkeeper of FC Krasnodar, confirmed in an interview published on YouTube Nobel that Juventus had shown concrete interest in him during the summer. According to the attacker, the negotiation took place while he was on holiday, in a period in which he had decided to disconnect to recover from a series of injuries that had left him physically and emotionally tired. “I kept my phone turned off and relied on a few people to receive only essential information about the negotiations,” Agkatsev explained.
The goalkeeper added that although Juventus' interest had been real, it had not materialized and he remained at Krasnodar. “I hope to be able to make an important step in the next phase of the market, both winter and summer, but at the moment I want to focus on my work here,” he said. He expressed his belief that Serie A would represent an ideal environment for his abilities and reiterated participation in the Champions League as a long-term goal.
Agkatsev's estimated value varies between 12 and 15 million euros, and in addition to Juventus, Turkish, Spanish and Saudi Arabian clubs are among the potential buyers. The club's owner, Sergey Nikolaevich, expressed his desire for the goalkeeper to stay in Krasnodar as long as possible, but also indicated that a win-win proposal for both parties could lead to an agreement. The situation remains pending, with Agkatsev remaining focused on his current role and open to future opportunities.
