It appears that Jonathan Pitroipa, who was named the best player of the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2013 despite Burkina Faso’s loss in the final to Nigeria, is reportedly in contact with the Russian club Rubin Kazan. The Stade Rennais winger, exempt from a match this weekend according to Africa Top Sports.com, could be considering a transfer to Rubin Kazan.
However, the transfer, if it happens, is expected to take place next summer, as Pitroipa is currently under contract with Rennes until June 2015. This potential move could reunite him with his former teammate Yann M’Vila, who joined Rubin Kazan during the winter transfer window.
Player transfers are common in football, and it will be interesting to see how this situation develops, especially given the success and recognition Pitroipa received during the CAN 2013 tournament. Transfers often involve various negotiations between clubs, players, and agents, and the outcome can be influenced by multiple factors.
