Football: What Was Sofiane Hanni Doing At Brussels Airport?

Algerian international football player Sofiane Hanni was seen on Monday morning at the Belgian capital Brussels reportedly on his way to Rome, fueling rumors of his projected transfer from his current club Anderlecht to Spartak Moscow.

The Belgian newspaper RTVF reported the move of Sofiane Hanni to Brussels airport, arguing that it is an indication of the arrangement of the procedures for him joining the Russian team of Spartak Moscow. 

Sofiane Hanni is said to be keenly courted by Spartak Moscow. The Algerian international has been regularly criticized since the beginning of the season. 

A departure, even if it is not desired by the Brussels club, can be considered in case of a “hard to refuse offer”.

This one could intervene in the days to come. The interest of Spartak Moscow in recruiting Hanni (27 years) is real and concrete, the Russian club would like to attract the captain of RSCA this winter. 

The price set by the management of Anderlecht of € 12 million is almost ten times more than the € 1.5 million (2 million with bonus) paid by Malines club.

According to Russian sources, Spartak Moscow would is said to be ready to make an offer up to € 8 million. Although Russia is not the preferred destination of Sofiane Hanni, but the salary of € 1.5 million net per year offered by Spartak is very enticing.
