Sergey Stepashin, a member of the "Dinamo Moscow" board, addressed Azerbaijani-born striker Ulvi Babayev during a meeting with the team's players.
"Don't even think about "Spartak"! There was a guy named Tashaev, he moved to "Spartak", and that's it. Understand?" - Stepashin said.
Journalist Ivan Karpov had previously reported on the "red and whites'" interest in the "Dinamo" striker.
Midfielder Aleksandr Tashaev is a graduate of the "Dinamo" academy. He moved to "Spartak" in 2018 and stayed there until 2021. In 2024, it was reported that Tashaev ended his career at the age of 29.
This season, Babayev has participated in 12 matches in all competitions and scored five goals. The player's current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2026. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is 350,000 euros.
