English clubs Hull City and Leeds United have expressed a keen interest in signing Colombian striker John Cordoba from Krasnodar.
However, negotiating a direct transfer between English and Russian clubs poses significant challenges due to sanctions and the inability to conduct inter-bank settlements between British and Russian financial institutions. To navigate these legal and banking barriers, the clubs are crafting a complex transit mechanism for the deal.
The proposed plan involves one of the clubs in the Saudi Arabian league initially acquiring the rights to the Krasnodar forward. After the completion of this transfer, Cordoba would then be loaned to England.
Currently, active negotiations are taking place through international intermediaries and the official representative of the Colombian forward.
