"It happened the way it happened. He was motivated to go exactly there, to that club. This option seemed more promising and beneficial to him in terms of his future development. I wanted him to stay, but seeing his determination, the club decided to accept his position and let him go where he wanted," Gunko said in an interview with "SE."
According to Legalbet, Ivan Ignatyev's salary at "JS Kabylie" will be 20,000 euros this season and 25,000 euros next season.
