Agent Ives Cakarun has responded to reports linking Lazio forward Petar Ratkov with a possible move to a Russian Premier League club.
The 22-year-old Serbian striker has been mentioned as a potential target for Dynamo, according to information published on journalist Gianluca Di Marzio’s website. Cakarun, who represents Ratkov, has now commented on the possibility of the player transferring to a club in Russia.
Ratkov joined Lazio in January this year, with the Italian club paying Red Bull Salzburg €13m for his services. Since moving to Rome, he has played in eight matches for Lazio but has not recorded a goal or an assist.
The reports place Ratkov’s name in connection with a possible move away from Lazio only a short time after his arrival at the club. Dynamo’s reported interest was first made public by Di Marzio, whose website identified the Russian club as being interested in the Serbian forward.
No further details of the proposed transfer were provided in the report. The information did not state whether Dynamo had made a formal offer for Ratkov, nor did it indicate that Lazio had decided to sell the player.
Ratkov’s current position at Lazio follows his January transfer from Red Bull Salzburg, where he had established himself before the move to Italy. The €13m fee made him a Lazio player at the start of the year, but his first period with the Roman club has so far produced eight appearances without a direct contribution to a goal.
Cakarun’s comments concern the possibility of Ratkov continuing his career in the Russian Premier League, while the initial report specifically identified Dynamo as the club interested in the forward.
For now, the available information links the player with a potential move rather than confirming a transfer. Ratkov remains a Lazio player, and the only figures stated in connection with his time at the club are his eight appearances and the absence of goals or assists.
The speculation adds uncertainty around the next step in the career of the 22-year-old Serbia international, who only joined Lazio in January after the club reached an agreement with Red Bull Salzburg for €13m. His agent has addressed the possibility of a move to Russia, but the report does not include confirmation that the transfer will take place.
