Agent: ‘Luan doesn’t want Spartak’

The agent of Sampdoria target Luan says it’s “very unlikely” the striker will move to Spartak Moscow as he wants “one of the major European leagues”.

It was reported over the weekend that the Blucerchiati had an agreement to sign the Gremio forward in January, for a fee of around €20m.

They were facing competition from Massimo Carrera’s Spartak, but it appears a move to Russia is unlikely.
