Football agent Gennady Golubin has acknowledged that a change of club could be possible for Real Sociedad midfielder Arsen Zakharyan, whose lack of playing time has become a growing concern.
Golubin represents the Russia international and commented on his client after reports in the media claimed Zakharyan had caused a disturbance because he was not brought on during Real Sociedad’s most recent match.
The agent said the midfielder’s limited involvement was a matter that concerned him. No further details were given about the reported incident or about any specific club that could be interested in signing Zakharyan.
Zakharyan has been with Real Sociedad since 2023. During that time, he has made 66 appearances for the Spanish club, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
However, his opportunities this season have been extremely limited. The midfielder has played only three minutes in the current campaign, a situation that has prompted questions about his position within the team and his prospects for the rest of the season.
Golubin’s comments leave open the possibility that Zakharyan’s situation could lead to a change in his career path. The agent did not confirm that a transfer was being negotiated, but his remarks indicate that the lack of regular football is being taken seriously.
Zakharyan’s time at Real Sociedad began in 2023, and he has since accumulated more than 60 appearances for the club. His record includes three goals and three assists, although his contribution has been restricted this season by the small amount of match time available to him.
The reports surrounding the latest match have added attention to an already difficult spell for the midfielder. According to those reports, Zakharyan was unhappy after remaining on the sidelines, while Golubin has focused on the broader issue of his client’s limited opportunities rather than providing details of the alleged confrontation.
The player’s current market value is listed by Transfermarkt at 9 million euros. That figure provides an indication of his standing in the transfer market, although no potential move or destination has been identified.
For now, Zakharyan remains a Real Sociedad player, but the comments from his representative suggest that his future could become a subject of discussion if his lack of playing time continues. His next steps will depend on whether he receives more opportunities at the Spanish club or whether a change becomes the preferred solution for the player and his representatives.
