Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- An agreement was reached between Rostov and the Italian club Genoa on the transfer of the striker of the national team of Uzbekistan Eldor Shomurodov.

Eldor Shomurodov moved to the Russian club in 2017, played 91 matches in 3 years and scored 18 goals. Last season, the striker became the team’s top scorer, scoring 11 key goals during the championship.

Earlier it was reported that Genoa will pay 9 million euros for Shomurodov, including all bonuses. Also, the Russian club will receive 15 percent of the subsequent sale of the 25-year-old Uzbek.

- After long negotiations, we accepted an offer from the Genoa club. I am sure that Eldor will have a great journey in European football. His transfer to our club coincided with the period when I became the president of Rostov, so after years I can say that Eldor is an intelligent, modest and good person, including outside the football field. These qualities are very important in the modern world, and I wish him to remain the same forever. We do not say goodbye to Eldor, I am convinced that he will remain our friend and fan of Rostov, the President of the Russian club Artashes Arutyunyants said.
