Spartak footballer Ilya Kutepov: the quality of a footballer primarily affects the salary
Spartak Moscow footballer Ilya Kutepov spoke salaries in Russian football. He is quoted by Sport24.
Kutepov discussed the limit on legionnaires and how the high salaries of players with Russian citizenship are connected with this. “I think the quality of a football player primarily affects the salary. If you are a good player, you will be in demand regardless of your passport, “the defender said.
In September 2021, State Duma Deputy Dmitry Svishchev commented on the possible introduction of a salary cap in Russian football. According to the parliamentarian, the measure will give nothing, because the market will regulate the salaries in one way or another. Clubs will find a way to get around the restriction.
Kutepov has been in favor of the red and white since 2012. He is the Russian champion of the 2016/2017 season. As part of the Russian national team, the defender participated in the 2018 World Cup.
