CSKA Moscow president Evgeniy Giner has confirmed Aleksandr Golovin is close to leaving but played down claims a deal with Chelsea has been agreed.
“In order not to ruin [Golovin] we must let him go. But we have no solution for today,” Giner told Russian outlet Sport24.
“When we receive an offer, we always try to negotiate openly. Indeed, we were visited by the vice-president of Monaco [Vadim Vasilyev] and made a proposal for Golovin.
“Chelsea? There is no closed arrangement with them. But the question of his transition to another club will be decided, I think, in the next couple of days.”C
